It seems that SpywareInfo was affected by the denial of service bug. I hope this helps. :o) Helen On Sunday, February 15, 2004 at 7:43 pm, JM wrote: >Anyone else having trouble getting in the site.

Merijn who wrote the CWS Shredder has his own site now and the Chronicles are just an explanation of the CWS variants. You can check it out at http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html : ) Helen On Sunday, February 15, 2004 at 8:20 pm, Smokey wrote: >unfortunately cool web search shredder has got nothing to do with coolwebsearch chronicles.... > > > [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: CoolWebSearch Chronicles Sunday, February 15, 2004 at 8:37 pm Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) As Helen mentioned, they have had problems for several days.

SpywareInfo, TomCoyote.org and merijn.org disappeared last week. This is due to a colossal, ongoing distributed denial of service attack. Several thousand trojaned PCs are throwing millions of HTTP GET requests at our server. The attacker is very determined to keep these sites off the net. Every time we filter out the attack, thousand of new machines join in. For now, the server is firewalled and all traffic is being null routed.

At least we know "great work" does get noticed.
