UPDATE (04/25/2013 0445 UTC): Silk Road is available at the moment. This has been truly epic. I pray this is the end for a while. I need sleep. I will make a summary announcement once I've had some rest and am sure this is behind us.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 2220 UTC): We're making progress. The site has been open and available for about 15 minutes, but this is an arms race right now, and the attacker may still get the upper hand before we have our final victory. I've paused autofinalizing, and will leave it that way for a few days after I feel everyone has had a chance to send their orders to the Resolution Center if they want to. Also, image uploading doesn't work for the time being.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 1647 UTC): Nothing new to report, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I am still here and we're doing everything we can to put and end to all of this. I'm really proud to be a part of this community. You all have been showing your class through all of this.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 1222 UTC): We are starting to get a handle on how the attack is being run. It will likely take many hours to eventually overcome, but we are 100% committed to getting the site running in peak form again. It is still possible to access here and there, so we are leaving the site open for those who want to try to gain access, but it will be tough until we can effectively counter the attack.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 0714 UTC): The downtime of the past couple days, and especially the past 24 hours has been confirmed to be due to a deliberate attack from what appears to be an individual. There appears to be no security breach, only disruption of availability. The attack appears to be DoS in nature and is likely an exploit at the Tor network level. The site will be down or very slow until a solution can be found, which we will work tirelessly to find. Thank you for your patience.
UPDATE (04/23/2013 2319 UTC): I'm terribly sorry for the poor availability over the last few days, and especially today. I'm having to take the site down again and we will likely be up and down for a while longer. Sorry I can't give you anything more specific, but we are working as hard as we can to find a solution.
We are doing some server reconfiguration to try to improve availability. The site will be down while this is done, but I will keep you updated via this thread. Thanks for your patience.

Grrr...hope this doesn't take long!
-
That would be great!
-
Thanks DPR better avaliablilty would be a great thing ;D
-
Thanks for the update kind Sir
EDIT: Note to self, don't post near the top in a downtime thread if not prepared for angry negative karma! ;) Peace&Love Fellow Trailblazers!
-
been 4 days maintenance for me
so i wouldnt mind waiting 2 weeks actually
-
Hello,
Man.....sure hope it helps.....been working on a project with another vender and this is brutal
-
Hope everything goes smoothly! Thanks for the update!
-
Very nice, sounds like a win. Forget all the naysayers that aren't happy that this technical majesty runs into hiccups, as growth constantly explodes... Thanks for all the hard work
-
Sounds good, hope it doesn't take too long.
-
OMG i have got many order to send out. But I would say why maintenance is done always at begin of the week? It is occur you that Monday and Tuesday are the most busy days where people are placing orders for the week end?
I really need you back as soon as possible, please!!!

Hey Rob o/
Thx for the info and while I'm thanking you already: BIG THX for all the work you're doing here -- and you're doing it great!
Any estimation how long it'll take to get the SR back rolling?
Rock on dude o/
Light & Love,
∞aliaseses∞
EDIT @FPUK
Maybe Rob's got a life besides SR as well and the beginning of the week is the time, he's most able to do this kind of work for all of us?! Imo your question is a bit strange -- do you think 'week(-days)' are the same for you and me and everyone? I also heard about maintenance isn't the kind of thing that's waiting patient until everybody's ready to be confronted with but rather a thing that 'just comes' and when it's time for it, it doesn't care if it's a monday or thursday or whateverday ;->
Everything will be good and work well in the end ... it always does one just have to recognize ;->
-
LOL @ SLASH!!
Its been super slow the last 4 to 5 days..really since it came up from the last time u took it down..
Before that, to me it was running for me faster and smoother than i had ever seen it in a year.. I read some claim they could never log on for 3 days iv never had to log my info in more than 2 times and im in and cruising down the road..lol
Why dont u guys DPR and Team just keep it down fix every thing that needs to be fixed, so u dont have to do this every 4 days.. If it needs to be down 2 days ppl deal with it and let it be worked on, iv got a few things on order so i know its annoying but so is this every few day thing.. and taking 15 min to read a PM and reply to one or load a page// thanks DPR AND TEAM...
-
Thanks for the update
-
Thanks for the effort however it goes :-)
If it does not work, please make it so messages load before the page headers so
we can get work done without waiting for headers and search bars etc. which take forever at times. Also, if it is within your power, let us look at one page while another one is loading. ATM, if you don't pay attention to a blank loading page, it will give up and never load. Very tedious. But, I am happy we can do things even if they are slower than a glacier :-) NWN
-
why does this shit happen everytime I put coins in my damn wallet?
DPR needs to give us pre warning knowing how volitile the market it nowadays. we could be losing money while waiting on the site to go back up
-
Thanks for the update
hope it sorts everything out :)
-
looking forward to the site back up and running :)
-
why does DPR have an impressive karma +386/-18?
he is only posting BAD NEWS
hahahah joking
-
;)finally some time for the forum.... ;D
all orders we mailed today...
We hope to have informed you well...
Sincerely Yours,

thanks
-
subbed. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do DPR. You are truly an inspiration. Icecream for all! 8)
-
Do we get an eta on the site being back up?
-
good luck with the maintenance, I'm looking forward to some blazing fast speed for the road when it's back up *fingers crossed*
-
I think iv realized DPR never reads anything on the threads he posts. Making the discussions that ensue pointless.
Chaos
-
Always good to have a heads up. Maintenance is a necessary evil to improve the SR.
why does this shit happen everytime I put coins in my damn wallet?

Purchasing bitcoins is always a gamble. It's part of the game. I'm sure the site will be back up before the btc drops fom $130 to £55 ;)
-
Business will have to wait until tomorrow :-\
Goodnight!
-
A big thank you to DPR and the rest of the staff. You guys are all doing a stellar job keeping the site going. Again, Thank You
-
Hopefully it will be back up by tomorrow morning but I can wait. Concentrate on keeping this ship afloat DPR, no matter how long it takes or how many people bitch. ;)
-
It could be worse, he could care fook all about the site and not update anything, and let it scrum up and die slowly. Or he could not give us ANY updates...i appreciate the time he takes to keep us informed, knowing how busy he probably is. Downtime sucks for anything, but we all know it will be back sooner or later. So just hit refresh once in awhile, works for me ;)
-
why does he never do the washing up as well?
-
Before that, to me it was running for me faster and smoother than i had ever seen it in a year.. I read some claim they could never log on for 3 days iv never had to log my info in more than 2 times and im in and cruising down the road..lol
THIS lol
it was working sooo much better and then it got reaaal fucking slow
and id get error messages and so on.
go back to being fast like the kenyans!
-
ya SR was running slow in the past week. hope it comes back up and does not lag as much.
-
I'm in but it is still very slow
-
More Power, better and faster Servers and an automatic PGP Encryption System thats all we need (and a stable Bitcoin of course).
Hope Silk Road runs smooth & fast again......
-
Hm, still showing as down for maintenance for me.
-
Its been super slow the last 4 to 5 days..really since it came up from the last time u took it down..
but we all hope its for make us more safe in future.
shipped all orders i could, be waiting to SR back.
-
I'm in but it is still very slow
-
I'm in but it is still very slow
same. wonder when it will be at normal speed again
-
Thanks for the update DPR.
-
hey everyone!! Can anyone tell me why, if SR is down for maintenance, why can i still attempt to log on?
Obviously it doesnt load, but why isnt the maintenance sign showing....?? Is it still in maintenance..?? could we please have another update please??!!?
Thanks soo much DPR for dedicating sooo much of your life for our benefit!!!
-
can someone just call me or text me when the site is back up? Thanks!!!! (210) 523-1544
I really really hope thats not your actual phone number...

Appears to be a construction company in Texas, so I'm thinking not. "DEA Specialties", ho ho ho
-
how long for?
-
op updated
-
anyone know how long this is going to last. im trying to make some purchases here:P
-
Glad to see this update. Its getting annoying having to always reload SR multiple times before being able to sign in. Thanks for the update hopefully things will be back running smooth shortly.
-
It was working good there for a few minutes, had just enough time to send a message and place an order. Between this and Bitfloor shutting down it's been a stressful week.
-
op updated
Thanks, DPR. Appreciate the good communication/ customer service.
Funny.. was watching the Princess Bride, and it was from a totally new perspective.

can you say: SKETCHYYYYYY!
-
Shit, I was able to get through for a minute to place an order, but got a timeout message after hitting "place order". Anyone know what happens in this situation?
-
Damn... Worst timing. I was just about to send away my orders, and I'm going away tonight until the weekend so I can't send orders until after the weekend :-(
-
i think im just going to give it a few more hours. run some arrands and come back later tonight. hopefully its running smoothly!
-
Will my orders go to auto-finalize, is my only concern, but keep up the good work. :)
All the very best to you all!

Just hope you guys can solve everything without compromising our security, take your time :)

When you make that much money you work 16 hr days 7 days a week. I love this site as much as everyone but wont be kissing any ass when its someones job and they get paid damn damn good money. Its like all the citizens blowing the cops for the great job they do. Underline job they fucking get paid for it.
-
thanks for the updat (subscribing)
and damn just placed an order hoping to have it by the weekend. Hope the site comes back online soon.
-

I would assume DPR would have something to keep that from happening:)

And it would have to be down for quite a while to go to auto finalize.

itll be alright man. the site will be back up soon and coins will be safe!
-
thanks for the heads up maybe schedule monthly mantenance on a specific day every month or the first weekend every month shut the site down just for upgrading and maintaining I'm not trying to be an ass or tell you how to do your job you probably won't even read this post but I am a property manager and maintenance is first and foremost.

At least bitcoin price is going up.

Thanks for addressing the issue! I knew there had to be something wrong after last Friday night's update was completed.
Thanks again for the work you do, seriously. Thank you.
+1 :) Hopefully DPR releases an update soon!
-
Hmm. I was half hoping to read some funny comments about how this cryptic update must be linked to a message that some newcomer recieved from the DEA. Funny. Can't predict the way conversations are going to go. Just like I can't predict the direction the bitcoin price will go. For the life of me, I don't see any pattern, or any link to any news or anything. Haha, anyway. just thought it was funny.

ITS BACK UP QUICK EVERYONE OVERLOAD THE SERVERS!!!

@HOLLY
WTF ARE U TALKING ABOUT?
THATS THE BAD PART.. I HAVE 3500 DOLLARS SITTING IN FUCKING ESCROW WHEN I COULD BE MAKING A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS..
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..
AND I BET THE VENDER DIDNT EVEN SEND IT OUT.. I ORDERED AT LIKE 7 AM SO IDK ..
FUCK
Oh well shit happens. Remember, this is fuckin wall street. you did what you had to do. There's nothing that we can do about it. Best thing is to wait for site to go back up. Come on Lorax, how long you been on the road for? I know you're not a n00bie. Patience is a virtue. Believe me i'm the most inpatient person, but if theres anything I've learned from the road is to have patience.
I have over 10k sitting in escrow still processing for over 2 weeks now. I can cancel at any time I want to but I chose not too...It is what it is.
I actually don't mind all this maintenance, at least we know were being take care of. DPR is taking all the precautions to make sure the site is safe.
-
yeah im just fucking around
but u know that feeling.. like if u just wouldve waited an extra day!! lol but shit im good..
THE SITE IS UP FOR ME BTW.. CHECK FOR YOURSELVES
-
I'd rather they take the site down to fix a technical issue and maintain all of it's user's security and anonymity then to just leave it up with a known problem so that the haters stay happy.
A bit of frustration perhap's, but i'd rather you guy's keep the site as secure as possible (least you can do for the insane amount of money you've made off seller fee's as well
[PS: You gouge us WAY too heavily in seller fee's, I mean way too high, I lose SOO much money for seller fee's, and you guy's gotta be rich as fuck from all the sales made now over the last 2 year's, I think it's time you give us a break/cut in fee's cuz like ... you're obviously millionaires now off fee's and it takes sooo much out of every order unless you're a huge vendor :( ]
But all you hater's should go down to your local police station right now and just turn yourselves in, because you clearly don't care about protecting yourselves on a stable, technically sound and secure drug through the mail distribution network (Silk Road !).
Those of us who enjoy our freedom appreciate any interruption required to fix a flaw/weakness/exploitable element to Silk Road and thank you guy's maintaining it's upkeep for jumping on these problem's as soon as you can instead of leaving them wide open until you can prepare us for 'Scheduled Maintenance'. Letting everyone know when you plan on scheduling a maintence is pretty silly too considering all the LE's sniffing around constantly and looking for any intelligence whatsoever to aid them in trying to take SR down.
No one should know when you PLAN on taking SR down, that's how one would shoot themselves in the foot by giving LEOs intelligence, which is the most powerful thing LEOs have to stop/prevent/immobilize in this case a drug network that must be frustrating them a little bit more every day that passes and SR is still running without their ability to do dick about it.
So thank you technical staff for keeping Silk Road running smoothly.
Strange all these reports though from ppl who've been saying they've not been able to access the site for the last 4 days. I've personally been on there conducting business up until today when the login page has finally been replaced with their 'under maintenance' page ... at least for me ... have there really been people trying to login 4 day's ago and been met with the maintenance page vs. the login page?
Or are you guys complaining about 4 day's talking about the site being slow, but still accessible? That as well puzzles me cuz it's been going quick as normal for me up until today and I'm definitely not anyone special lol..
-
yeah im just fucking around
but u know that feeling.. like if u just wouldve waited an extra day!! lol but shit im good..
THE SITE IS UP FOR ME BTW.. CHECK FOR YOURSELVES
HAha yea most def know how you feel! And I was able to log in, but its extremely slow. I'm done for the day, like you said everyone is going to overload the servers and it's just gonna be a complete waste of time to attempt logging in.
GOOD LUCK on your order! and most importantly . stay safe.

So are you saying that your angry that you can't cancel an order you've made to instead sell those BTC for your own personal profit while screwing the vendor over by cancelling your order for no other reason then you want your BTC back to sell to make some profit?
That's pretty greedy and wrong to do to a vendor you committed an order to.
Should turn off your cap's lock bro/sis, and treat your responsibilities to the vendor when you placed a $3500 order with them appropriately.
I know i'd be blacklisting buyers who made a commitment to a vendor and are angry that they can't flake out on it by cancelling their order to get their BTC back out of escrow just to make some market trades for profit. If you want to trade for profit then don't commit all your BTC to a vendor and then back out on them like that for your own personal desires vs. a legitimate reason for cancelling an order you made with the vendor.
Don't you see how wrong your intentions are and how you're screwing the vendor over when you should really only cancel an order when you actually have legitimate reason to?
CAPS LOCK, TURN IT OFF

so its up? is that what im gathering from all this? because i keep getting timed out:P is that due to a server overload?
-
Its been up and down all day....
-
So can we get back to the maintenance subject. i think this is going WAYYYYY off topic and my road is still not drivable or even walkable for that matter :P
-
DPR needs to give us pre warning knowing how volitile the market it nowadays. we could be losing money while waiting on the site to go back up
This. What is so hard about giving a heads up in relation to scheduled maintenance?
-
UPDATE (04/23/2013 2319 UTC): I'm terribly sorry for the poor availability over the last few days, and especially today. I'm having to take the site down again and we will likely be up and down for a while longer. Sorry I can't give you anything more specific, but we are working as hard as we can to find a solution.
We are doing some server reconfiguration to try to improve availability. The site will be down while this is done, but I will keep you updated via this thread. Thanks for your patience.
Hey thanks for the update, we really do appreciate them, but when is doing maintenance and changing configurations around just not working anymore? I actually had to push my sales IRL due to the sites availability and speed. I just can't spend hours in front of a computer hitting reload/refresh over and over. I am aware that tor networks are inherently slow to begin with, but when it looks like the 300 baud days with a dial up modem things have to change. :)
-
sigh.. SR goes up for a few minutes then taken back down for maintenance
what a tease
-
Yes lets please stay on topic that was probably the gayest thing i have ever read this guy is talking like a fucking mobster over the computer than he proceeds to talk about dick in ass which just turned it to a whole new level of douchiness

ARE U FUCKING RETARDED? BITCH DONT EVER TELL ME TO DO SHIT ILL KEEP EM ON AND U WILL READ THIS COCKBREATH
I NEVER SAID I WAS GUNNA CANCEL SHIT.. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT BULLSHIT BITCH IVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY ON HERE AND HAVE SEVERAL TOP VENDERS KNOW FOR A FACT I WILL BUY BULK AND NEVER BULLSHIT WHEN I TELL THEM I NEED SOMETHING I GET FUCKING CUSTOM ORDERS AND I WOULD NEVER CANCEL TO MAKE AN EXTRA COUPLE BUCKS
what im saying is that if i would of waited to place the order ( since the site is down anyways and the vender would not be able to ship today anyways)
i would of made some extra money by ordering 2maro or even now..
i never said i would cancel .. not only are u a jackass for assuming that since we have to wait 4 days to cancel.. ur a dipshit for trying to talk shit to someone when u cant fucking read and understand a situation before commenting go die
wtf are u some kind of newfriend or something?
assume a dick in ur ass next time u question my integrity u fucking ass clown..
But you didn't wait to order today or tomorrow. You ordered when you did, before maintenamce. You entered into a contract when you placed the order with the vendor. He has 4 days to ship your product.This is the rule. Ignorance is no excuse.
Trying to cancel the order would be breaching the contract. So you're stuck. Plesse STOP BITCHING on DPR's main maintenance thread.
Buy a better crystal ball or build a time machine.
Now enough about you're little fucking problem that no one cares about and back to the topic: MAINTENANCE

bitch im the biggest mobster on here and dont fucking forget it u talk about me ur talking to a gangster from the hood nigga.. i keep it reeal all dizay bitch

If you guys are really hurting so badly because silk road is down for less than 24 hours, you NEED to diversify your business. Silk Road is not guaranteed to exist forever. Its a nice (FREE) service that the pirate man has brought us. And it helps bring lots of customers (many naive to the risks they are taking) to vendors. But if you are drawing ALL your customers from silk road, and not from private parties or boards, then you are asking to have your tits explode when Silk Road goes away for whatever reason.
If you think this business of internet drugs started with silk road, then you are the naive fool.
-
DPR needs to give us pre warning knowing how volitile the market it nowadays. we could be losing money while waiting on the site to go back up
This. What is so hard about giving a heads up in relation to scheduled maintenance?
Just came in to say this.
Also, this is my 100th post, I have to go find some people to give negative karma to!
Also, to bobbybuble, it is NOT a free service. We pay percentages of our transactions to keep this beast moving.
-
ive been on sr long before i got on these forums and i can tell u one thing downtime like this aint shit..
its all part of the game.. it will be back up and waiting sucks.. no matter what u guys say.. venders are loosing money so are re sellers..
its perfectly normal to be upset about a order getting fuck or not being able to finalize for a vender.. or a vender not being able to send orders or get there money ..
but shit .. this is a thread to simply keep up updated.. so i guess there is no point in doing anything but subbing to it and checking the op every now and then..
anyways.. u can all suck my dick..

DPR takes a healthy cut on every transaction. Hardly a 'for free' proposition for vendors. IMO they're entitled to vent a bit when they get days of terrible, 14.4k modem speed slowdown, followed by unannounced maintenance. BTC volatility of late doesn't help things any. To be honest I can't even begin to imagine how any vendor with volume actually manages to use SR successfully without using custom tools that let them effectively do their business offline, syncing things up with the server when it is actually available.
If you think this business of internet drugs started with silk road, then you are the naive fool.
I feel like I got stupider just from reading that. Nobody here thinks that, you're talking to yourself.

subbing while I wait to place an order. Love to DPR.

HAHAHA we got a comedian on our hands:P
i bet DPR is doing his best to get the site up and running by tonight. Just waiting for that update saying its up and running!
going to smoke a bunch of earl and make some beats until its up and moving again!
Much love all_ Mcrad!
-
It happens ;D
And if a certain customer is waiting, we had connection issues at our end (shit isp) and then we had SR issues so unable to message anyone waiting. One customer is waiting for a refund on an oz of bud canceled. We will compensate with a free send out.
Everyone else should be sorted.
Hope the site is up soon.

I'm just glad the main site links to this for thread, so most are aware and updated. Always sucks to scour the forums for a site down thread. Thanks for the updates and the ease of finding the thread. Hope The Road is up and running soon.

free? there is a 7-10% fee on all transactions. the SR according to a report does 1.9 million a month. that means DPR is roughly making 200K per month or a little over 2 million dollars a year. how is that providing a free service?
-
Hey DPR, I don't know if you go through and read these threads, but I want to thank you for all the hard work you keep this amazing site up and working. I can assure you that the naysayers are in the minority. The rest of us know that we have done nothing to deserve this paradise you maintain, and we completely respect you. You deserve all the money you get!
Seriously people, you shouldn't be panicking. I remember my most panicky moment was when the forums went down and the site wasn't loading. That was the closest I ever got to thinking the site was gone forever, and even then I had hope that everything was fine. Here, we have actual updates from the man himself and you're complaining to him? Go smoke a bowl and take a day's rest from ordering drugs to your doorstep. You're lucky to have that opportunity at all.

It don't even matter about the fees and what not.
He/She has brought value to the lives of so many.
By doing this, by natural law, it brings the value back to his/her own life
DPR and the rest of the staff of the Silk Road website will always have my devotion. I love them all and always will for the great value they have added to my life

Hey let's argue about the site operator making money on the transactions on this site! I can't handle the fact that he makes $2 million a year and takes his website down for maintenance! WTF ARE WE PAYING FOR?!
Security updates?! WHO THE FUCK NEEDS THOSE!? Dread Pirate Roberts... you should be ashamed of yourself for being on top of things! ARGH!
And all this time the site has been down... all my coins have done is RISE IN VALUE! I can't take this shit! Waaah!!

I love you!:) +1 Festivalia for perfect sarcasm!

Thanks for maintaining the site. Now it works for me again. Wasn't sure my orders got registered last night but they did. Lets see for how long it stays fluid on the road now.
thanks again.
-
The site is a lot faster now for me, thank you for the hard work DPR
-
Agreed, the site is loading very fast and is functioning perfectly across the board, especially compared to what I saw in the last couple of days. Thank you and your team for putting in quality time to make this place work so well.

I personally can't get past he login page, is anyone else having difficulty logging in?

It took me a couple of times too, and the connection is not consistent right now even when I'm logged in, so my guess is that either the servers are overloaded with people just getting back onto the site after it being down for the day, or there are still issues, or something I'm not thinking about... but yes, there are some intermittent outages at the moment.

OP updated

It's working. Check that you go to the regular login page link and don't refresh the maintenance page, cuz I did that a few times before I realized it was sending me to a different page.

UPDATE (04/24/2013 0714 UTC): The downtime of the past couple days, and especially the past 24 hours has been confirmed to be due to a deliberate attack from what appears to be an individual. There appears to be no security breach, only disruption of availability. The attack appears to be DoS in nature and is likely an exploit at the Tor network level. The site will be down or very slow until a solution can be found, which we will work tirelessly to find. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks for the update.
-
Thanks again for the update! It sickens me how some people must waste so much time and effort trying to Dos attack the site. They are probably very sad and lonely individuals

I have never smoked DMT while on shrooms Im afraid. I am a bit scared of the possible intensity and on shrooms you dont really have a very good headspace which I think could make it turn very sour! MDMA is the only thing I have ever combined with dmt. Also I have found Mushrooms are a very nice thing to take just after a large MDMA dose :)

Funny because reddit just got hit with a massive ddos attack too.

I'm not going to bother reading all 7+ pages of this, so I have no clue what's been said. I just thought I'd mention that I like the way you're handling the situation, DPR. The notice on the site is a nice touch. Really, things like that go a long way.
I mean for whatever the comment is worth: not that you should give a fuck what I think, really, but since I tend to be rather critical of you I think it only fair to mention the times when I think you handle things well too.
-
I still can't get in. :'( Connection keeps timing out.

That sucks DPR I hope you guy can get it sorted asap. Seems ddos attacks are being run on the whole bitcoin network atm.
Keep up the good work brother.

Can't we not counter attack to do the same to the other end?
Post some IP's for people to start working with. . . .
A return attack will work if we can know which doorstep to send the shitstorm to. There are resources that can help.
Is this an army fighting one man holding down the fort? I guess DPR can't encourage retaliation or radicalism. He always takes the high road. Classy guy.
-
Running well for me too at the moment.
Thanks DPR, you're the man! You've demonstrated why SR the #1 TOR market place.

Is anyone else having issues with BTC transfers from BitInstant NOT showing up in their SR wallet? Thanks in advanced!
EDIT: I got a message from bitinstant saying the issue is on Coinapult's side!?

You have no listings lol

My guess? If not a gov't associate it's a religious group behind the attack.
Anonymous knows there's no CP or weapons so there's no ideological beef with them.

Whether he's classy or not, he's unable to do that. This is Tor -- if he could do that, we'd all be fucked, remember? :)

UPDATE (04/24/2013 1222 UTC): We are starting to get a handle on how the attack is being run. It will likely take many hours to eventually overcome, but we are 100% committed to getting the site running in peak form again. It is still possible to access here and there, so we are leaving the site open for those who want to try to gain access, but it will be tough until we can effectively counter the attack.

UPDATE (04/23/2013 2319 UTC): I'm terribly sorry for the poor availability over the last few days, and especially today. I'm having to take the site down again and we will likely be up and down for a while longer. Sorry I can't give you anything more specific, but we are working as hard as we can to find a solution.
We are doing some server reconfiguration to try to improve availability. The site will be down while this is done, but I will keep you updated via this thread. Thanks for your patience.
dont stress urself man u are all doing a great job WE BELIEVE IN YOU !!!!! thanks for the updates

Now, I am not a computer scientist, geek, or hacker..... but something you said made me think. Endpoints can resolve ip addresses correct?
SR is the "endpoint" in this situation....
Now, the DDOS uses a botnet of a large quantity to achieve this attack. With this being said, the attacker is hidden behind the multitude of ip addresses which are packeting the server.... I believe, with the way the net works these days, that this attack would have to be substantial. The sheer number of connections would make finding the perp responsible difficult, if not almost impossible. Like I said, I am not a computer expert.... I ddosed a game server once.... took less that twenty bots..... so i do know the concept. Im just not sure how to find the ip address of the attacker... I know the attacker has to give commands to the bots attacking. How could you get the ip from the attacking (bot) computer?
Sometimes I can't see the big picture..... this is why i decided hacking was not my gig, and moved on (plus my first 'threat' from the 'fbi' at the age of thirteen scared the shit outta me.)
Just curious how much has changed in the past 12-15 years....

Little fuckers. Thanks DPR and the team for the work you're doing countering the attack.

Is anyone else having issues with BTC transfers from BitInstant NOT showing up in their SR wallet? Thanks in advanced!
EDIT: I got a message from bitinstant saying the issue is on Coinapult's side!?
I accidently ordered some during the site being down. Straight to btc address. They showed up without problems

Thank you for your response. It seems to be hit or miss. Based off Reddit and the BitInstant forms I am not the only one having the issue and BI claims the issue to be on Coinapult's side... Didn't even know they were associated or why it would be their fault.
-
We need your services more thank anything.

Sorry if I missed it in an earlier post but since the site is so hit or miss right now, are we safe to place orders?

Can't stress how much I appreciate these updates DPR.
Good vibes to you and your team.
Long live SR.

Lots of people could potentially want to attack the SR I would think =\ especially the other drug markets...
Anyways. Thanks for the update DPR. They are greatly appreciated by the community as whole.

Put this to bed dread, hope it ain't a fed, this fucker gon' wind up dead, with a gunshot wound straight to the head, he thought he fled but now he bled. You fuck with dread you wind up dead get on your knees bitch and gimme some head...
Bahaha 8)

DPR many thanks for keeping us updated on this, it is very much appreciated!
Problems like this which normally require outsourcing experts from many places becomes incredibly awkward when the site you are working on is one such as SR. Trust severely restricts your choice of people. I hope you and your team don't burn your selves out too hard.
Got a BTC whisky fund?

::) I just hope the Mt.Gox prices keep going UP. I'm making good money right now!
Heh. SR being unavailable is about the only way I can hold BTC for more than a day. I don't believe I am alone, either. Well, everyone has to have a hobby, ja?
-
UPDATE (04/24/2013 1647 UTC): Nothing new to report, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I am still here and we're doing everything we can to put and end to all of this. I'm really proud to be a part of this community. You all have been showing your class through all of this.
No man, thank YOU. We're proud to have a guy like you at the helm. Most people don't even care this much about their real family/home.. but DPR literally puts his blood & sweat into this place/community.
I doubt theres anything anyone of us could do to help with the DDOS attack.. but if there this.. you know where to find us brother

Keep up the good work DPR and the rest of the team. I know fuck all about this sort of thing so I hope you get it fixed up ok. Like subtickle says its not like you can just call the helpline to resolve the issue. You are the helpline.
Stay well and fingers crossed for a speedy resolution.
-
would like to say thank you to DPR & and everyone who is working on making SR available again!
We will wait as long as possible for the best possible outcome!
-
Looool mother fuckers d=dos'ing our shit wtf...we are on top...Fuck The Haters....................!
yes im high Sorry lool
-
Why would somebody want to take down SR ?! It's the best site in DW !
Gogo DPR ! I know it will be fixed faster than everyone think.
-
yes im high Sorry lool
70% of the members online are high too. ;)
-
To those wondering why it seems SR has a fair share of "problems" from DDOS or other external chicanery and shenanigans I offer this quote:
""If you're not catching flak, you're not over the target.""
-
Thanks so much DPR. Keep this shit up!!! Reading all of these supporting comments really makes me feel like part of a group with everyone else on SR. I hope it goes well and gets resolved quickly.

Fucking micro-penis dDos WANKERS. Get a life, ffs. Oooooh you're good with computers? Great. We get it. Go get laid or something. Grrr....
*sigh* patience is a virtue.

I can understand a DDOS on Bitcoin Exchanges, but SR? Really?
Gotta be some asshat from Atlantis or BMR.
Hold strong DPR. You're the fucking man!
-
Thank you for all you do DPR and team! We are so lucky to have such a dedicated team at our service, +1 karma to you!
Hope this is not a reoccurring thing, seems like lots of other sites are getting attacked as well atm.
-
Can't speak for everyone, but the last update from DPR makes me feel good. Talk about dedication. Behind you all the way. Like others, we just want to help however we can.
Post some IPs for people to counter attack and its on.
-
Thank you DPR for being a BAMF... :)
-
It must suck for these kinda problems. I mean they prob got a small team as it is. Security is a never ending section of IT. Say tho, DPR if you need a network tech to monitor shit holla at me, i got my ccna and CNE degree along with a criminal record as a resume *-*
-
we have patience DRP, hope SR gets back running.
Thanks for letting us know the progress. Hope we can browse SR later today.
-
I'm Jonesin over here, would some good Samaritan on the road please PM me when this thing is back up!

Go figure...

I have a resolution that will expire in 10 hrs if the site is still down at the time of the resolution expiration will I automatically finalize?
-
he will most likely set the clocks back like he always does when the site is down for awhile 8)
-
Adding my 2 pennies' worth to DPR and everyone else who's working so hard to keep SR safe from the "Blue Meanies"....
Thank You for a great site and for all the hard work :)
Bless
-
GUYS, I've seen these happen and things go way slow (and of course, very fast and normal) throughout the past 3-4 days and i was just "shopping" then for my next order (i make about 2 a month). Today was different.
I had my bitcoins loaded faster than usual and i had to break my 6-order shopping cart into pieces to send specific stuff to each vendor. Well, that took FOREVER. And I had JUST officially finished the last order and sent it through like 10 mins before the 100% shut down.
So, is there a chance I could lose all those orders all ready sent off? I mean my bitcoins went with each order....
I'm just saying that'd be worst case scenario, I know. But my orders are safe and in the hands of the vendors, right?
I mean SR has been fully down for over two at least now.....will we see the light soon?
What do you guys think??
thx

The site goes down on a pretty regular basis, and every time has happened in the past, the admins have given people extra time to finalize orders. I don't expect this time to be any different, so you should be fine.

Seriously big ups to DPR and the whole SR team. Thanks for doing all you can to make this site run.

UPDATE (04/24/2013 1647 UTC): Nothing new to report, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that I am still here and we're doing everything we can to put and end to all of this. I'm really proud to be a part of this community. You all have been showing your class through all of this.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 1222 UTC): We are starting to get a handle on how the attack is being run. It will likely take many hours to eventually overcome, but we are 100% committed to getting the site running in peak form again. It is still possible to access here and there, so we are leaving the site open for those who want to try to gain access, but it will be tough until we can effectively counter the attack.
UPDATE (04/24/2013 0714 UTC): The downtime of the past couple days, and especially the past 24 hours has been confirmed to be due to a deliberate attack from what appears to be an individual. There appears to be no security breach, only disruption of availability. The attack appears to be DoS in nature and is likely an exploit at the Tor network level. The site will be down or very slow until a solution can be found, which we will work tirelessly to find. Thank you for your patience.
UPDATE (04/23/2013 2319 UTC): I'm terribly sorry for the poor availability over the last few days, and especially today. I'm having to take the site down again and we will likely be up and down for a while longer. Sorry I can't give you anything more specific, but we are working as hard as we can to find a solution.
We are doing some server reconfiguration to try to improve availability. The site will be down while this is done, but I will keep you updated via this thread. Thanks for your patience.
Take your time boss, you know we all love you, despite some stupid hatters who are really stupid and dont apreciate all the work u do, we'll wait until its up and live again.

Interesting that you say it's some sort of DoS attack and appears to be coming from one individual, I was just getting my daily fix of thehackernews.com and saw this article:
http://thehackernews.com/2013/04/who-needs-botnet-when-you-have-4-gbps.html
Sorry if the formatting is bad, that's why I provided link
In recent months the DDoS world has shifted from complex small scale Botnet attacks to much larger network based DDoS attacks, perpetrated largely by hijacked web servers.
How many of these hijacked servers are out there remains to be seen. However, Incapsula recently got a very good idea of just how large these DDoS cannons are getting.
Last Saturday Incapsula mitigated a rather small, 4Gbps DDoS attack, but this time it had a different pattern that attracted our attention.
At first sight the attack seemed rather simple, generating 8 million DNS queries per second, to many domains, from spoofed IP addresses (using real domain name servers’ IPs). But this time it included a hint about where it was coming from: all that traffic was coming from the same source. Probably on the same network, maybe even the same device.
Tracing it to a single Source - TTL Giveaway
Incapsula were able to trace the attack to a single source because this time the attackers slipped-up and did not randomize the requests TTLs, making all the traffic arrive with the same IP TTL.
The TTL parameter is part of the Internet Protocol. It’s a field that designates how many routers a packet is allowed to pass before it expired. Every router along the way decrements the counter, until it expires (many diagnostic tools, like traceroute use this attribute). Of course, like many other fields, its value can be spoofed and randomized, but it is almost impossible to make millions of packets from many sources have the same TTL when they reach their destination and this is exactly what Gur Shatz, Incapsula CEO and Co-Founder saw.
Are Authoritative Name Servers next on the exploit list?
Another interesting point Incapsula saw, is that the spoofed addresses belonged to DNS servers, but not all were open DNS resolvers. In fact, many of these IPs were of authoritative name servers.
The reason for the non-random selection of IPs was to avoid blacklisting mechanisms. But it means that hackers are also collecting information about authoritative name servers. Using these in reflection attacks is a bit more complicated (it means building a database of domains with large DNS responses), with much smaller amplification factor, but they are much more difficult to lock down than open DNS resolvers.
So... what does this mean?
This means that the stakes just got higher. Just for comparison, at the rate of this attack, if it had used DNS amplification, with an average amplification factor of 50 - it would have generated a 200+ Gbps DDoS attack, all from a single source/computer!
What do we know about this source?
It is either custom hardware, or a cluster of machines sharing the same network. It is (almost) impossible for a single machine to generate this kind of traffic.
It could utilize 4Gbps of upstream bandwidth, without anyone noticing.
These days it doesn’t take a Botnet to launch massive DDoS attacks. It doesn’t even take hundreds of servers, from multiple hosting providers. That kind of massive firepower can be obtained from a single DDoS Cannon, from a single location and perhaps even one single server.
-
I'm really worried this time. The tone DPR used in his latest update sounded kind of fatalistic. Like he was going to give it all he had, but feeling defeatist.
Maybe I'm wrong, I sure hope I am.
Anyway, how can one guy cause a DOS? Would they need tremendous resources and bandwitdth, etc?

Hello,
as far as I can tell....it's still down

You should be good. I managed to get to my 'orders' page this morning as there were some new ones in there from last night/this morning. I left that tab open and went about trying to reply to messages. Luckily I had that tab still open because minutes after I got that page open SR went down and I haven't been able to get anything since. I think I managed to reply to one message.
Now, whether I can confirm those orders as sent or not... we'll see. People might have 'em in their hands before it's confirmed :P
-
Hope this attack is stopped soon and they blow up the guy who's initiating it.
I just started business 1.5 weeks ago and was doing pretty damn well until this unexpected little surprise.]
I noticed a week ago the site also wasn't terribly fast. I know tor is slow because of the routing, but it seems SR is especially slow compared to other darknet sites. Was it always like this, or has the recent exponential increase in traffic had a noticeable effect? Just curious.
-
sucks because I have an order that might auto-finalize in a day and I didnt get the package.. so am i screwed?
yea, it sucks thats why u gotta be careful! with who you choose and non-domestics always hold that risk even tho normally those vendors dont fuck round
-
thumbs up and only tons of karma and love to DPR and crew, you´ll fix it!

Well, I know for sure *one* of your orders went out, at least... ;)

-
Hey folks, always be sure to load up on your goodies when stuff like this happens.
Rest assured DPR and his team will get it going. I have faith and we need this community!!
-
DPR and his crew,good luck! and we have faith in you's
-
Hopefully it will be up and running tomorrow.
Sounds like the crew are doing all that they can.
I've got my fingers crossed.
Keep up the good work!
-
Bitcoin-Central is down, Silk Road is down, TorMail is down.....Instawallet is gone, wow this is really messing up the method i used to use for getting my gear! Haha
Oh well, never mind, thanks for all the effort btw DPR, i'll wait it out :)
-
Thank god every single one of my orders arrived already so I will be set at least until Monday! woo
I'm sure DPR and his crew will figure it out as they always have, we've been through worse as a community.
-
Thanks for the tireless effort and great communication DPR. We can only support you, hope the best, and appreciate everything we have been given thus far.
-
Positive vibes from here
Long Live SR!!
-
Soooo its a DDOS attack :( look it up on wiki, sounds like these ppl are just overloading the servers to make it run slow? and could eventually wipe it out? please god dont let that happen I LOVE SILK ROAD ha for real i never even sketch about getting packages i get excited :DDDD
-
Who knew DoS attacks over Tor were possible? I hope the Tor Project heads fix the exploits that allow it to happen.
-
the DDoS problem is also being discussed on reddit/r/silkroad
"It was intermittent, then it was solid, then it was intermittent again! ;)
That's what she said?
Lol, at least your tryin. :)"
-
I really hope no government gets the great idea to start a perpetual DDOS attack on sites like SR
-
Nothing but positivity from here too. I couldn't handle the stress of maintaining SR especially knowing that while it's down I was potentially losing thousands of dollars an hour. When this gets resolved I think I'll work on maintaining a personal backup supply making sure to replace reserves with small amounts here and there. ;)
-
I just wanna give props to all of the conscientious vendors who are taking the time to let customers know that they are sending out what they can!
I've got 3 orders "processing" because I jumped on last night when the service was spotty just to make sure that I got my orders in in a timely manner.
Only one of them has been confirmed.
I gotta go do something with my hands and wait til SR is back up :(
-
All of our orders (whether confirmed or not) have been shipped! :)
-
Pay the black mail they want to stop it and move on. (Just kidding, as if)
But the timing is interesting. Coins at a high value, 420 is going on, - but it's related to bitcoins more than anything. I wonder what the motive is? Raise or lower coin prices? Drive customers to other sites where they are funneled into less secure environments making easier targets? Tor mail being down is a direct attack on sr users and vendors for sure.
Mysteriously, other drug sites are up and fine. Like I said, to funnel the whole herd into these alternate choices for business. Like someone wants to rustle us out of the bushes and out into the open.
Ah, speculation and imagination. I'm high. Killing time until the stores open up.
Glad everyone is showing the attackers we are brave and not angry. Be brave and strong. Wait it out. It can't go on forever.

Just logged in and it's running pretty fast, lets see how long it lasts.

Thank you Captain and all of the SR administration for working hard in fixing this situation. Whoever is behind the attack will get what's coming to them ;)
-
OP updated
heeeeeeeeeeeeyyy thanks bruh
-
Keep up the good work, hope to see the attackers downed!
-
still down here
-
Can we help?
Know a few *ahem* anonymous and sympathetic hackers (with reverse DDOS skills) who are generally just itching to "release the hounds"... ?
If so, let us know what we need to know to help?
-
Thanks so much for tirelessly working to keep the site up and running in spite of big obstacles. It is really incredible how much intelligence and perseverance is behind keeping it all going.
-
Up, down , up, down, no server found, up, down, up
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Im goin nutz over here! I just wanna check one of my orders right now lols.
But keep up the good work DPR, glad to see so much work being put into imporvement, long live SR!!
P.S. I am a paranoid person but the timing of all these event discussed right above me sketches me out! theres a little bug in the system tearing everything apart!! lol
-
Still down here too, the Vidalia Control Panel Message Log is telling me http://www.silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/ is an 'Invalid Destination Hostname'.
I'll try again later. Thanks for the hard work :)
-
Also still having problems login in.
Cant find the server at all.
will try tomorrow again.
For all customers who send me a message i will answer them as soon as possible

Why would they attack us on 4/20 weekend is this supposed to be a joke? If I get my hands on the SR terrorist I'll kill him lol
i placed 2 orders on sunday and i dont know if my vendors logged on since then with all this downage..
I know i havent been able to.

cant find the server or something still.

I am down as well.....just trying to remain as cool and collected as possible as i have money floating around in onionland waiting to get my btc on SR!!! 8)

Occasionally my browser adds the www. when it can't pull it up. I have never gotten it to pull with www. in the hostname, so remove that for sure.
It's probably still down, only a matter of time before it's under control though. Always gotta be some asshole who wants to ruin the party.

I'm getting error message at the checkout page.
Once I press enter after typing my pin number, I am directed to a page which states " an error has occurred, we could not process your request ( ext) "
I'm guessing there's a bug, or a malfunction with an extension in that area of the server.
Anybody else not able to add items to order page? Anyone else getting this same error message, or was anyone successful at adding an item to his/her order page?

its not up... looks like another day or two fml

I'm just glad we have this place to go. Fuckin terrorist playing with our emotions!

down with the douche bags that organized the attack! I hope they are exposed, and ruined. Much respect to DPR and team, fight the good fight. Viva la SR!
Speculating here, but here are my two inklings:
1) Rival black market trying to fuck things up
2) Government black op

Sure this is only a DDOS? When reaching server getting 500 errors and the above error ^^ (We could not process..)
Tor does not scale well for a DDOS.
Get 'em DPR!
-

Tor does not scale well for a DDOS.
Get 'em DPR!
500 errors are usually caused when the server can't talk to the backend (php). During a DDoS, the web server may still respond, but the backend is all clogged up and not available to respond to requests in time, thus the web server throws a 500 error so you at least get a response.
A couple people mentioned getting www., I'm getting it again too. It's not a security concern, no one needs to worry about it there, but Tor will NOT connect you to the site if www. is in front of the url. So once you realize your browser shows www., delete it and try to access the page again (instead of refreshing on www. which will never go anywhere). I think most modern browsers try the www. form of websites second if they're not able to communicate with the form you typed in, which may just indicate that a couple of the services weren't reachable when you tried to login.

Yes, correct, that is the concern. The backend server should not be a known ip/onion address, so should be available while the webserver is not. If the backend server is being attacked, that is a problem for a few reasons and points to a more sophisticated attack then simple DDOS.
-
As mentioned a few times in earlier posts, there are resources out there that can help. We just need to know which IP(s) to send the shit storm to, or some clue where to start and they will take it from there.
There is no way the attacker could compete against several corporate server racks on fibre circuits in different cities. Bot nets in waiting too. Like a poster mentioned earlier (wazo?) there are people itching to direct the entire corporate network resources onto some poor asshole. Point the way boss. . . and take yourselves a much needed toke break. :-)
Lots of support and minions waiting, but I think the boss has it covered.

Another update about the relative timeframe would be greatly appreciated

nothing we can do but wait .. this happens every so often.. pretty much just wait till dpr fixes everything like he always does..

Yes, I was able to get into sr, and it must have been in the 15 timeframe where dpr noted he was.putting the.server back up about 1.5 hrs ago, approximately.
I logged in, browsed for about 10 minutes with quite a bit of lag.
I.proceeded to add an item to my cart. Updated shipping. Typed pin. Was then redirected to.error page, saying my request couldn't be processed(ext).
After about 25 minutes of lagtown USA, I decided to give it a rest.
Anybody have an IP addy or any info of this fucker who used the ddos? Really, why.would you.ddos Sr? The one oasis of beauty left...and someone dare try to.take it?
Really is frustrating but I must commend dpr and everyone for updating us accordingly, and attempting to.find the source of the current issues. I have no doubt we will prevail. .. in time.

Has something like this ever happened before?
It's kind of worrying that this might be a reoccurring thing.

Yes, this has happened a couple of times before and SR has been down for a week+ before BUT DPR and his staff has ALWAYS fixed everything and SR was back to normal soon after.
-
normally if someone is doing this ind of an attack, they will continue to do it until a countermeasure of some sort is placed... lets see what countermeasure DPR uses... i mentioned a way to help deflect these kinds of attacks a while ago but like the others who mentioned the same thing... it went unnoticed...
now i guess DPR has no choice but to attempt to use what many of us has suggested

Surely this will be a reoccurring thing when the crew doing these attacks *coughs FED affiliates* realise how fucking easily done and successful it is to rendering this site 100% useless.
Gutted that I can't use it is all! Good luck folks!
-
It is redirecting my browser to have a www. in front of the address. Is this exposing my ip address?
this is happening to me as well
Same here
Yip.. same..

Yes, correct, that is the concern. The backend server should not be a known ip/onion address, so should be available while the webserver is not. If the backend server is being attacked, that is a problem for a few reasons and points to a more sophisticated attack then simple DDOS.
I think you misunderstood the ambiguous term 'server' (so there actually is not some larger thing afoot, it's all Tor and 100% has to be because of the nature of the attack). Not actually a separate machine, but 'server' meaning 'daemon', or service running on the physical machine. So apache (or whatever webserver) is the 'front end' and then PHP/ASP/other languages then get handed off requests and are the 'back end'. They're almost always running on the same machine (even if you have it clustered to many machines, they're usually all hosting a web daemon + serverside processor language).
I love that everyone is asking for IPs and wants to get revenge. Unfortunately, I think you guys are forgetting that you use Tor for it's anonymity, so the ONLY IPs that SR's server records, is the Tor one used to connect to it, the same IP many legit users are connecting through. You can't overload a .onion HTTP server (daemon) unless you're actually making HTTP calls over Tor (otherwise it cannot be routed). The same reason everyone here is "protected", is the reason this attacker's real identity is "protected". It sucks, but it's the double edged sword of the protocol.

Thanks for explaining that, +1

Not a tech guy, but the consensus seems to be this was a DDOS? Seems a fishy conclusion to me. The site's been running like shit these past few days including frequent time-outs.
-
To some of you, stop worrying about the WWW thing here so we can move on. It's been addressed adequately in a recent thread.
-
Everyone is holding a vigil in here? Where's do I get a candle from?
I bet the attackers are enjoying their rock hard boner off this. They must be in this forum watching the results of their childish game. If they can find people who wrote viruses, they should be able to track this too. A shiny new donkey for heads of these cyber-weenies of the high seas. I hope we see a photo of what happened to them on torchan.
This stunt has cost this place a lot of money. Luckily everyone will still buy, just a few days later.
A time to dry up, sober up for a bit. Woa. Did I say that man

any updates dpr? i've got drug trafficking to do...
-
To some of you, stop worrying about the WWW thing so we can move on. Go to regular Firefox, type in any domain that doesn't exist. They add the www when you're timed out or the server can't be found, just how things work.
umm yeah, because it trys navigating to the www, once it fails to load without the www.
What happens when you try going to a non .onion site from your tor browser?(IP)

did someone say vigil ? :D

unkn0wn_ explained it well in the "everytime i try to go to SR, tor tries adding www. before the URL" thread.

Or maybe they're just not in the habit of openly discussing countermeasures with the unwashed masses.
-
I'm glad I am not the only one noticing the www.
I noticed it immediately and thought it was odd. At least it is keeping me vigilant and I trust my attention to the small details.
I figured the DEA would be selling a lot on here (Hell, it's a lot easier than getting caught selling it in California directly and risking another Contra Affair incident.) but maybe they feel like taking SR out for a while. Haha.
-
:'( apparently I didn't know Sr was down and I deposit some bitcoin with BST today ... Man I hope they r there in my address ... I'm very worried ....

This is getting a little ridiculous with all these updates. hopefully something awesome comes from this. like hyper-speed page loading?
Any updates would be super awesome DPR!

It should be there when it's back up. Check blockchain.info to see if your btc made it to your wallet address

Forget about the WWW issue, it's 99% just this...
Technical reason: their Apache server is configured to reroute the main domain to the www.domain... which is a common default setting for Apache... something entirely under their control. and nothing to be concerned about.

CIA not DEA...they sold guns to Iran and took the money to fund the Contra in Nicaragua to fight those terrible communists. The CIA allowed the Contra to smuggle tons of cocaine into Cali, starting the crack epidemic in LA. (See Rick Ross)

Jeff, trust we fully understand this thing and possible keep thing simple to appeal to more person and to keep our skill in wrap. ;D
web server is nginx here, btw.
we not analyze anything here, have no time and others on task, simple ask is only a DDOS because we see some things that point to maybe more high level attack + DDOS. For discussion ;)
DPR probably take down hidden service form network, so address not routable and your browser (think FF do this) add www to search for URL.

whos down to actually do this?..
just drive down the street outside a neighbors house that has unlocked wifi and do it?
we can all do the shit at the same time and fuck em up..

it is hoped to have the site as soon as possible good job.

Not a tech guy, but the consensus seems to be this was a DDOS? Seems a fishy conclusion to me. The site's been running like shit these past few days including frequent time-outs.
In every single case in this thread where people offer an opinion as to how something seems "fishy" or "sketchy", what follows or precedes that is gibberish and/or magical thinking, with some drug-induced paranoia sprinkled in for good measure. If you're not a tech guy, it stands to reason that your theories on tech topics are probably 1) wrong and 2) only adding to general confusion / noise when shared. As is true of any theories I might develop on topics such as nuclear physics, automotive repair, and so on.

The person you are quoting doesn't know what he's talking about, so I don't know why you're parroting it so authoritatively. The blind leading the blind? DDOS attacks are hardly limited to malformed packets and do not require UDP, SYN, or anything else he mentioned in an attempt to bedazzle with his bullshit.
slowloris, Slow POST, Slow Read, Range Header attacks - all examples of application layer attacks on HTTP, which can most certainly be both distributed and cause denial of service.
The claim that this is a null byte attack due to shitty coding on DPR's part is interesting, as I saw it mentioned by someone hyping Atlantis on another thread before I saw this supergenius you've quoted relaying the same theory. Pure speculation. And speculation which seems very much linked to a general "SR code sucks, come to Atlantis for the bootstrap web3.0 hawtness" campaign that someone seems eager to spread.

yea haha really stoned on pharms and kush so i read cia and department of justice and shit so i got paranoid hahaha....
so whats goin on with sr ddos attack? damn i hope this dont mean the end of it, altho the end is inevitable. unfortunately. damn....that brings me to this topic, in the event of sr's downfall has anyone thought up of some sr back up site? like something that people can flock to if sr is down forever, enter yr sr username and password or some sort of special code or something thatd allow you to transfer yr sr stats. thatd be nice if you could transfer yr sr stats to lets say a sister site or something.....thatd be really helpful so people know yr reputation and know yr shit....sorta like an id for the anonymous realm. of course, containing only purchasing stats hahaha, the sister site should also OBVIOUSLY have an escrow system implemented of course.....damn im just rambling sorry man hahaha just thought id get this out there cuz ive been thinking a lot about "wtf would i do without sr" my city has shitty fucking sources, sr is a blessing

It is redirecting my browser to have a www. in front of the address. Is this exposing my ip address?
this is happening to me as well
Same here
Yip.. same..
www.silkroad
No, adding www. is just your browser (probably Firefox / TorBrowser) timing out and trying alternate. It's a known TorBrowser bug (but hasn't been fixed for some reason).

The person I am quoting is actually correct and you do not know how TOR works.

I feel very, VERY safe in saying that I know a great deal more about TOR, HTTP, TCP/IP, PHP, and just about every other moving part involved in this sort of thing than you do. Not as sure about the throwaway account who you are quoting - I'm thinking there's some malicious intent behind some of this disinfo, and that some people spouting bullshit know full well that they're doing it. The rest are just paranoid sheep willing to latch onto any contrarian "we are being lied to" explanation that is on offer for any given event.
Starved for good entertainment tonight though. Do explain how these hardly-new application layer techniques are magically blocked by TOR. Or how it can be known by anybody with any certainty that this involves a null byte attack on ancient PHP. I'm waiting.

:'( apparently I didn't know Sr was down and I deposit some bitcoin with BST today ... Man I hope they r there in my address ... I'm very worried ....
I went to there n check but I dont know where to check if money made it
It should be there when it's back up. Check blockchain.info to see if your btc made it to your wallet address

"I have very good information.. let's say a family member works for the Justice Department. SR's has been hit by the feds as of 7pm EST earlier today. Its going to be allover the news tomorrow. There site has been down.. watch the news folks"

Hey, who knows. That could be true and maybe finally Silkroad has come to its end. No more. Yea, sucks for A LOT of people. I have over $800 worth of bitcoin in there but hey, who gives a shit if the feds are involved I guess. What I think may have happened is the feds couldn't take down SR using its conventional ways, so they opted to choose this way. Just keep slamming the site, non stop, basically until DPR just gives up. It was bound to happen. I'll be very curious as to see what the news will be....if anything. News isn't 9am-5pm EST anymore. It is 24/7/365 so not seeing anything until morning does make the comment above a little suspect. Also, not hearing back from DPR could be a good sign he's transferring ALL available bitcoin on SR to his own addresses and getting his plane ticket ready!! :)

Well, lets hope this guy is completely wrong and DPR is sitting at his desk typing away fixing the problems:)

So, does anyone know when I can buy drugs again? Whats the deal?
I don't care if the DEA FDA, CIA, or PGP, PHP is selling me drugs, as long they get here.... can anyone get a hookup or what?
Alright, either way this issue wont be put to rest anytime soon will it?
Stuck in a battle with eggheads.... money is the shade of green anywhere.

Are you people really that retarded? Copying/pasting some bullshit ranting from the Atlantis forum and re-posting it here that's only purpose is to rile up the crazies?

SR is fine for fuck sakes. There are some jealous little shits out there just ddos'ing it. End of the story.

Relax guys, it's a forum post. The way it's worded tells me it's bat shit, and the obvious motive is Atlantic is a new SR competitor. I'll give anyone all my bitcoins tomorrow if news come out that SR is done.
Just another reason to add to the list of reasons Atlantic or a competitor is fucking our shit up over here at SR... Godspeed SR team.

That is a post from an obvious troll. It was posted from a single post throwaway troll account too. Do you believe everything that you read online? If you do then here are some instructions on how to fly.
From yahoo answers,
Go running every day until you can run really fast - preferably at least 60mph. Then climb to the top of a really tall building - you need a lot of lift, chose a windy, sunny day to get good thermals and lift - and flap your arms really hard until you feel like you're starting to lift off the ground. Then start running, run your fastest until you get right to the edge and then just jump off, keep flapping and you'll fly! The first couple of times might not work so well but you'll get the hang of it.

How do you know it was a troll? Is that your troll account? Do you personally have a trojan on his computer to determine his intentions?
Funny thing is when the Boston bomber was on facebook saying he loves Islam and wanted to blow up America people assumed he was trolling. But then it happened.....
-
Is there anyway that the site could be open and limited to vendor accounts only like the last time this sort of thing happened in November I believe so that us vendors can catch up on PMs and mark orders shipped that went out yesterday.
We appreciate all the hard work you are doing DPR I understand very little about the sort of thing you are dealing with and have full faith in you and your team that you will get things back up and running shortly.
I fear though that when it is back up the site will continue to have problems for the first hours since so many people will be trying to log on at the same time. I think last time you opening it back up to vendors only for the first few hours was a smart move.
Keep working tirelessly as I know you have been we put full faith in our fearless leader. Godspeed good sir.

SR is back up... with this disclaimer:

I don't. No. I do not.
I am pretty sure if they had busted Silk Road yesterday it would have made news somewhere online by now. I'm not positive but that is how I strongly feel. There are also more high priority hidden services to bust. There are sites that teach you to fuck children and how to take anonymous videos and photos with them and have you upload and share them with others. Exploiting children is a much higher priority and those very large sites are still running and intact. Yes I am aware they made some arrests from one of those sites years ago. I do not recall the technical aspects of it though.
The only way for them to bust DPR and get to the servers is for him to do something stupid offline. Hidden services inherently safe. We can make bomb threats all we want on here unlike on clearnet.

url to farmers market site or it never happened
No, it's totally true! You can now use your driver's license to sign up on Atlantis, to verify your identity. This speeds up the process of you getting arrested. You don't even have to transmit your address in plain text! Just scan your license, and slap on the cuffs!
Hahahaha. And they even have server side PGP! That's awesome! So you can think admittance of the felonies and federal offenses you're racking up on that site are totally secure! So secure that nobody but the prosecutor at your trial will be able to have access to them in full!
Woohoo Atlantis!

Back up, for me it was faster than the forums.
Thanks DPR!!!

Hmmmmmm....
first we see stupid and obvious posts in the forum about the wonder of that Atlantis site and also separate ones about litecoin which IMO where attempts at viral marketing and where clearly 'sponsored' in some way THEN, or at the same time rather, we see a DDOS attack on the road... interesting that the main points of criticism about SR in the posts was the speed of the road and how it crashes so much accompanied by a reassurance that Atlantis was quick and smooth as Amazon...... How convenient for them that a random attack started just in time to make their bulshit look like steak...
Not saying that they did this.... but actually that's exactly what I'm saying... yup just makes me even more sure that Atlantis and even Litecoins are being manufactured by either big banks, LE or organized crime like the OMC or mob of some description.. IMO they are all as corrupt and capable of all this as each other so.... Stay strong Roadsters.. This place is special and DPR is a unique and valuable person to have overseeing these first steps towards the world most of us desire and believe is achievable maybe even in our lifetimes if we do it right.
I believe SR and DPR are our best chance to do it right and from the bottom of my heart I thank you Mr(Mrs/Miss?) Roberts and for what its worth; my life, although not perfect by any rate, is better for having found this place. I'm safer, happier and in better health because of this service and to me... its priceless... I hope you know that mate... Your diligence and tenacity is both appreciated and admired, by myself and I imagine a large number of other people.
I don't care how long it takes to get this fixed and so long as you are still in the fight I'm not giving up on here or you. I believe in the both of you and will be here as long as it is around.
Thank you so much for everything you do and have done...

+1 for you brother. SR/DPR are really our safest and best bet in this "culture" we're apart of. I am not a paranoid person by nature, but I swear to god, Atlantis just doesn't sit right with me. I don't what it is about that place, but my gut tells me something is way off..
Anyways, the site is back up and blazing fast. But then again that's probably because nobody is logged in yet :)
I hope the person(s) responsible for ddos's suffer a painful death.

Or buy directly from a Canadian vendor like MMM who is literally less than half the price you're charging. Never had a problem with customs, and It's $350 for 10g moonrock...as opposed to $875/10g from you.
But hey, hustle on bro.
I guess that kind of price is what people pay for domestic.

I've been able to add listings, just no images. I did however think at first it wasn't working.
I went to add new listing. Typed it all out. Hit go. Came up with some 'xml error page' hit refresh and the new listing did come up under my 'current listings' page
I also went through the market and the listing exists. Just no pics unfortunately.

You're*
And I list in USD and your prices are listed as $87.55 so x 10 is 875.50. Not $800 at x10 as your quoted text attempts to say.
And it's hilarious that CF's MDMA is literally 28g's for $800. If someone buys 1gx10 in your jacked up prices, that's only 10g for almost $900.
100% positive feedback doesn't excuse being an asshole for flipping people's product so high. When I was an eager noob and only ordered domestic, I left pos feedback while rolling on my new product as well.
But the world is full of assholes, users, and scammers. SR is no exclusion.
If the suckers buy your MDMA, I guess they deserve it.
Once they take that plunge and cross customs, they'll wake up when they get that first bag of moonrock or brown sugar that is bulk and less than half the price of yours.
I generally don't like to talk negatively about people unless they're being especially retarded or warranting it. But seriously, domestic flipper vendors crack me up, but make me sad at the same time. Same kind of fuckery that happens on craigslist. Scammers, shammers, and 1-up'ers always taking advantage of anyone any chance they get.
Meh. If you're a noob reading this, I would buy from this wo/mans sources if I were you. Canada to US is relatively safe except for LL's security incident a few weeks (couple months? time is flying.) ago. Draw your own conclusions on that one.
Anyway, I'll stop derailing now :^x
MMM is the worst vendor I ever dealt with....worst communication, subpar to par product (when it arrives)...
Guy is useless I'd rather donate my BTC then deal with him ever again
I've never had a problem and ordered quite a bit. But their communication isn't the best. They've always seemed like a 'business not a friendship' type of vendor which isn't a bad thing. I've gotten it every time, and I have ordered some large weight across customs and stealth was absolutely amazing. 3 weeks ago they changed shit up and improved their stealth. MDMA tested well and exceeded even domestic whitewash I have gotten.
Even so. I would still recommend to go with CF directly over buying from retards like Ceelo. Canada -> US customs hasn't ever given me or friends a problem.

Can someone give me a brief rundown of what they believe to be happening? Who was 'in' the site, what their motive was, etc? I know that I could read through all 27 pages, but I am about to head to bed. It would be greatly appreciated as I have north of $500 in escrow.. lol. Anything would help, and I happy to have access again! *knocking on wood..

Haha $800 for 10g? $800 for even 28g is high, i sell 28g for £450ish, less than $700 an oz.. and american md is useless, i wouldn't decorate the beach with it.

What a battle. Nerd against script kitty. I think we might now have php5 installed or whatever.
There was an exploit that was there Obviously. It's been toyed with for the past while and he knows it. We all know it. The site was slow and slower still, then strange errors and error messages that told the world too much about how the site works.
They waited until they were organized enough to exploit it finally, possibly for fee from another site. Hey who knows. It's speculation.
No holds barred. Nice fight though. We are all more secure now because of it. Each time someone exploits the site, they teach us a lesson and get stronger as a result. If they were smart, they would've kept it quiet and silently attacked at random for years .
TuggingOnSupermans cape username was razzing DPR pretty bad in the threads, but they spoke some truth about the infrastructure being used here. At some point, you gotta replace the engine, even if its your baby. It's hard to keep up to updates and shit these days. You fix one thing and it opens another hole elsewhere. You need testers and a chief of security or something on staff. Consult and cross consult.
Nobody ever criticized a general for calling in the marines to help. It's what they do. It's going to get a lot tougher in the future to solve these exploits.
. It's a shame we are working our boss to death, but at some point he is going to have to trust more people or else suffer a heart attack. No joke. If he gets sick, we are done. You gotta wonder why he is doing this to himself, but he's a true giver and the most kindest, fairest pirate that ever lived.
Nice work. (Bows down)
Hero as always.

UPDATE (04/25/2013 0445 UTC): Silk Road is available at the moment. This has been truly epic. I pray this is the end for a while. I need sleep. I will make a summary announcement once I've had some rest and am sure this is behind us.
I congratulate you on your tremendous efforts, DPR. Take a rest now, I think you'll be needed (like Steed and Mrs. Peel) again soon, though.

UPDATE (04/25/2013 0445 UTC): Silk Road is available at the moment. This has been truly epic. I pray this is the end for a while. I need sleep. I will make a summary announcement once I've had some rest and am sure this is behind us.
It's important to get proper rest, sleep, so take as long as you need, because it's when you're tired people tend to start making mistakes they wouldn't otherwise do in a million years. For a person in your position, you need to take active steps to ensure you don't burnout. It's better to be at 100% 50% of the time, than at 50% 100% of the time in my opinion.
Also, in a pinch vendors can upload images through Tor elsewhere and link them. Perhaps not ideal, but as an interim solution until any bugs are quashed.
-
Back in business. Just a fluke I suppose.
-
Site has slowed down to a crawl for me again...literally takes about 5 minutes to load a page if it loads at all.
-
Yes, for me too. One second, smooth sailing; and next thing I knew, all my loading tabs timed out. NOOOO ACCESS AGAIN!?!
Always seems to happen when I come up with this bright idea to put together an order.
-
running great!
-
Love DPR! it's running nice right now. Much respect.
-
Update to my previous post - all is well now and running smooth. Thanks DPR! :)

As of this moment is running smooth as sand paper. Sorry, an error was encountered.

Yay its up! Now everyone buy some BOMB CANADIAN MDMA from me!! USA to USA FREE SHIPPING!
Vendor profile: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/822595b9a3
Or buy directly from a Canadian vendor like MMM who is literally less than half the price you're charging. Never had a problem with customs, and It's $350 for 10g moonrock...as opposed to $875/10g from you.
But hey, hustle on bro.
I guess that kind of price is what people pay for domestic.
If anyone doesn't mind customs and doesn't want to be ripped off:

Much love DPR, you're the man!

Yeah I can't even get the maintenance page to load though I've heard it is there. O elusive maintenance page where art though

My hat's off to you guys; who operate in a sphere I can only imagine, and I claim no expertise in whatsoever. So I have to ask, does the effective totality of this attack (SR, Forums, all of Tormail today) indicate the attack is more or less likely to be a government agency heeding Senator Schumer's agenda, or a 16 year old in mom's basement with an expensive toy?
-
The connection has timed out
The server at silkroadvb5piz3r.onion is taking too long to respond.
we are really tired of getting this message, has been since friday for us. i would be happy to get a maintenance page at this point.

Honestly - and this is not based on any concrete evidence or any secret inside-knowledge - I feel like this is NOT due to a government agency. The gov't would much rather make big busts and big headlines about taking down SR and its vendors / buyers. They wouldn't do it quietly, and they wouldn't do it by simply causing users to migrate to another marketplace. They want results, and for them, that means busts. In my opinion, this is much more likely to be due to a rival marketplace or people trying to blackmail DPR or something like that. Something non-government-related.

Yeah I gotta agree, seems like LE wouldn't waste their time doing things this way.

Isn't the ddoser gonna get bored at some point? What is he gonna do, ddos the server until he dies? What's even the point?

I don't think it requires actual maintenance or someone to sit there and actively make it continue once it starts. Then again, I'm no expert.

That's what I've been thinking too. It would be a silly move on LE's part to attack SR in this way. All shutting down SR would do would be to force people to disperse to rival markets. It would increase the proliferation of more SR-like sites, having the opposite result of what was intended.
It's more likely a rival market, someone with a grudge, or blackmail.
I'm still convinced that SR will pull through this and emerge even stronger than before.

Godspeed, DPR

is there a new link or something. i read on another thread that some people were able to get in for a bit and i would like to check the status of my orders :)

Does anything LE does make sense??
LE enabled all of us to do all sorts of silly drugs that you would never have done if they were legal. Making drugs illegal has had the opposite effect of what they are trying to accomplish but they continue to illegalize harmless drugs like pot or acid.. Not saying the
DDOSer is LE just pointing out a flaw in your logic..

Good point Sofish. I made the mistake of thinking they were smart :)
Whatever they try to do, won't work long-term. For every drug they ban, 5 new ones pop up. For every SR they bring down, 5 more will pop up. To quote Emerson: "Nothing, not all the armies of the world, can stop an idea whose time has come". Viva la Evolution!
-
The road is up!
-
Down again !!!
-
Damn, was just about to place an order....
-
I'M ON! :)

keeps timing out for me...
this fucking blows :-\
-
off again :(

The error page comes up fast;
Sorry, an error was encountered.

Its strange that this page comes so fast. . . .
I'm going to download an offline version of the site onto my disk.
I can use that for reference when I need it and the site is down.
-
I have an idea...
Let's all patiently wait for this to clear, and not make a rukus about every move, every update, every login failed attempt.
CHILL OUT 8)
Good things come to those who wait...
While others flee to competitor markets, or flee the scene back to the street, some will remain loyal and in-tact which will only further strengthen the greatness of what we have here people. Stay strong. Stay mature and respectful. We shall prevail.

I was able to get on this morning, place an order....and then message my vendor...
I saw the order "processing" but I have no way of knowing if vendor was able to get on during any window and receive the order and then maybe send it out
I have sent him an email thru tormail....lets hope for the best.
damn, my birthday this weekend. I wanted to celebrate
Cinco de Me
-
i just want to get my order in!
-
I think its worse having one in and not knowing if its coming, if vendor got order etc
-

totally. I have something in transit internationally, and I am sweating balls about it. I cannot communicate with the vendor because the site is down, and apparently doesn't check his forum Pm's. :-X
-
at least yours is in transit. I dont know if mine is even in transit...so I have to check the PO every day
you cannot plan a party like this...cannot

welp, I almost prefer it was in process, because then I would cancel and order domestically! I have no idea if it's flagged in customs, not shipped, or coming to my box tomorrow morning. haha.
I feel gray hairs sprouting.

Yeah, I don't really like MCR that much.. at all really. But I really enjoyed that particular quote.

I'm not going anywhere b/c I don't like feelings that someone is trying to manipulate me. It makes me very rebellious.
Luckily, I am not addicted to anything and bought more than enough drugs to last me a year or so before this all started due to the uncertainty of bitcoin. Anyone who needs their meds, I feel for you.
This just seems like a tactic of the enemy and it's awfully peculiar that it coincided with the arrival of atlantis. Tinfoil hats at the ready.

Tinfoil hats at the ready.
man that mean your not wearing yours.. ;D

still trying to get on to finalize an order from pluto:)
thanks pluto and much love to the SR crew!

I'm always wearing mine! Double stick! :P
It's back up! It's back up!! I can finalize! :D

Yup made it on and finalized pluto's order:)

uhhhh.. huh?

Yeah those messages were getting out of hand. Honestly I hope they just create a "block user" feature that lets us block users from sending messages, placing orders, etc.
But I'm still pissed. I was seriously about to buy something when I chose my shipping option and entered my address and PIN and then I got the message. That's annoying as hell, if it had gone through, at least there would have been the chance it could go out in the mail today. I've been waiting to get my BTCs for days too!
EDIT: I was able to squeeze in and make my order! Now, let me just hope the vendor is able to see the order...
-
I think the maintenance is done. There is now a Captcha for sending messages to users.
-
lol its all good HighGirl everything will pan out. DPR or his staff or whatever probably just tuning up some stuff, see how fast that was, like nothing even happened to most =p
-
cant log in and also cant tell the accurate time from these messages, so I posted. I hope someone tells us how and what is going on please direct me to a proper thread. THX 8)
-
With every captcha I enter (I've tried three times), I receive a white page with the message 'invalid captcha' is it just me, or is everyone experiencing the same problem when they try to send a message?
