Penetration test results

10/27/2010

Hi Bloopers,

We managed to bring the server down yesterday pretty easily, however nothing was damaged - the service simply became unavailable until the attack stopped. After that,the server quickly resumed service.

It surprises me how easily a website can be brought to its knees, and all websites are susceptible. I am glad that our server generally does well coping with the stress.

In other news, although our traffic has doubled, our server load has halved thanks to some optimisation work I did a couple days ago. As a result though, the taskbar has been acting a little crazy, be assured that I'm working on sorting the kinks out.

I am also going to be adding a box to the 'new entry' page that allows you to skip posting your entry to the main page, and a feature that will order the entries in your diary by date rather than the order in which they were posted.

Any questions, feel free to ask!

Steve.

I still say add options to turn off the header/footer in certain entries!

But yay sorting by date. I'm sure I'll have need for that somewhere down the line!

Sounds great to me. I will love the option to not post to the front page and the whole date thing as well

My diary keeps logging out...is there an idle time limit? I didn't notice it do that before, just the last couple of days.

Steve: yet again you display the awesome that makes Bloop full of so much WIN. I'm excited for the new features and that our servers are keeping up with demand and that the penetration test *resists giggle* went well. I'm impressed! Keep up the good work.

You know, as long as I've been here, I still have no idea how to make that. What's the code thingy for it?

I love the order entries by date set up Steve! Thanks for that and for the work you do for all of us on this great site.

I still have no idea what penetration is. I saw this title and thought it must be a Bloop Secrets entry about some girly realising she'd got herself preggers!

My taskbar has been misbehaving. Not in the penetration way, because I'm sure it's still a virgin and all, but when someone tried to send me an IM, I kept getting 'server error' when I tried to send an IM back.

Also, the autosave thing on entries goes a bit weird. It tells you it has autosaved your entry and asks if you want to recover it, so you click 'yes', and lo and behold, you recover it and post it, and there are no paragraphs or smileys, and the date has become '1/1/2010'.
