Were can I find the TPT source?

jacob1:
can you please give a recent source saying that github is being ddosed? because right now it isn'ti got this off of githubs twitter feed, and if you go onto github.com you get an error 500
also check this out: http://techcrunch.com/2013/03/10/github-hit-with-another-ddos-attack-second-in-two-days-and-major-service-outage/
just google "GitHub DDoS" and you'll get thousands of articles.
they are going to change their IP soon.
-
that's from march 10th though ... so sort of old. I did google that and got lots of hits, all from a few months ago like that.
also you know changing their ip does absolutely nothing. If an average person was being ddos'ed (is that even possible? ... I guess probably) they could change their ip and maybe the attacker wouldn't know the new one. But when you are a large public website, people can't get to you without the ip, so of course that is going to be completely public and common knowledge what it is. -
changing the ip could do something, if the attackers were using the domain name it would have no effect
so if they are DDoSing githubs ip, like: 204.232.175.90
and they changed it to: 92.53.23.120
it could have an effect, but if the attackers used the domain name it would immediately resolve and they would be under attack again.
on topic: is there another way to compile TPT, SCons is not working, i tried installing it it did not work.

There are ways of counteracting DDoS attacks and that is not one. They could, hum, ban the IP range temporarily
Also, always yours, http://status.github.com
Note, the recent source seems to be broken. Do not update if you have a working build.
