...Banking controversial, Camping, Malaysia internet havoc
Phewww.... it was a hectic period before closing year 2006, really a *BIG* challenge & obstacle to me. There's a network attack a.k.a. Denial of Service between "some big Bank in Malaysia" and my network for a few weeks. Their fucking idiot misconfiguration device all over Malaysia (nearly 2000 unit) sending thousand of email alert to our mail server every second for 24 hours. That is really insane so i email report few times to some "authority" and relevant parties and the email turn controversial afterwards till their President felt annoy and they start concern about it so they yell at us since "authority" keep pushing 'em. So they ask me to come to their headquarters building and i have to meet face to face with their Vice President. Damn !! i felt like gigle and wanna faint and sleepless for a few days before the meet. Fucking terrible beyond my expectation those email/words could lead to this level of judgement since my justification haven't go that far to diagnose the implication. We're having some discussion before both parties agreed to fix own problem. Till now the DOS still at it but it was reduce greatly and i'm tweaking our MTA to handle such excessive incoming TCP traffic. I'm thinking to divert the traffic to another newly setup mail server. Thanks God, FreeBSD on Dell Poweredge is rock solid to handle the TCP stack !!!
I'm off on 24/12/2006 to Lentang reserve forest (Pahang) as planned before for stress relieve and having fun with mother nature. Dude, camping is the coolest thang you should do. Aww... greatly irresistable to the outdoor type like me. Below is the photo taken during the trip. Log on to my gallery for the rest - http://apam-balik.ded1.net
27th December 2006 is the nightmare for entire human being in South East Asia include me, the 7.1 magnitude richter earthquake only killed several people and collapsed building mostly in Taiwan but left million of people in SEA country in "virtual blackout/outage" till now. Internet and phone all over Asia were disrupte after earthquakes near Taiwan damaged undersea/submarine cables. That sound sooo eery and seriously effected the "borderless" global community ya' know. The earthquake damaged APCN2 (Asia Pacific Cable Network 2) cable and Sea-Me-We3 cable and cost them an *unknown* figure of money to restore the undersea cable back to normal. It's 3km undersea cable living in vacuum trunking alone under dark/cold sea. Who wanna dive there and replace some shit for global community ?? According to Media and friend of mine who work for TM, it may take 3 weeks for the cable operator fixing the stuff. For sure most dot com entity badly effected and turn their network operator out of sanity. Below is the TM network and where/how APCN2 network goes. I wish everyone a happy new year 2007, may the force be with ya' !! and Salam Aidiladha to the Muslims on the planet earth. Ciao !!
