Пробајте го Солана со DDoS

According to the prominent Chinese journalist Colin Wu, Solana went down on January 4th. The attacker was suspected of leveraging spam to carry on the distributed denial-of-service attack. The network was back online after approximately four hours. A DDoS attack typically overwhelms or clogs the network by sending multiple requests to the victim’s web resource and hinders the platform from running correctly.

Солана повторно слезе во два часот по полноќ (UTC+8) на 4 јануари. Според корисниците на официјалната заедница Телеграма, напаѓачот е осомничен дека користел спам за да изврши DDoS напад.

While no official details confirming the event were divulged by the Solana foundation, this incident is the third in the past six months. Additionally, several сметки on Twitter asserted that Solana suffered a “huge slowdown” instead of an outage. Members of the r/CryptoCurrency subreddit also reported the matter and claimed that the “vulnerability of the system” is a “death knell for serious traders.” The post also reads:

„Обвинувањето на напаѓачите е само нечесност. Добро дизајнираниот блокчејн не треба да има напаѓачи, тој треба да продолжи да произведува блокови врз основа на параметрите на мрежата, а не да паузира затоа што некој испраќал трансакции со спам“.

Solana’s Technical Woes

As mentioned above, this isn’t the first such instance where Solana was hit by a DDoS attack. The Solana Status пријавени that the network suffered intermittent instability over 45 minutes in September last year.

During this time, Solana validators were gearing up for a new release before being hit by a 17-hour-outage due to the mass botting activity for an IDO on Solana-based DEX, Raydium. While no funds were lost and Solana returned to full functionality, the entire fiasco attracted some serious criticisms when the developers resorted to restarting the network.

Three months later, the network was reportedly hit by a second DDoS attack even as it remained online throughout. Despite suffering from heavy congestion, co-founder Raj Gokal појасни that there was no DDoS attack. It was the NFT game SolChicks that откри its Chicks NFT were responsible for the performance issues on the Solana blockchain.
