Yeah, keep in mind other websites unrelated to Omni but managed by Netham are hosted on the same server.
This. I have a half-dozen or so sites on there. As far as the DoS goes, it shouldn't have been enough to bring down the server, but the host was crashing (as in, outside my guest OS), and dropping my networking until I rebooted.

So you think it's not omni that is being ddosed?
No, I don't think it's Omni.

We'll be possibly looking into a new server tomorrow. The issue appears to be on my hosts side (My VPS just randomly loses internet, the bandwidth graphs drop immediately to 0, yet the VPS appears to be running completely normally if I connect through the console login, asides from the lack of network connectivity). I've contacted him about the issue 3 times now and received nothing meaningful in response whatsoever (which for how much I'm paying for the VPS is completely pathetic.)
I moved part of what I have hosted on there (completely unrelated to Omnimaga, although I suspect it's what is getting DoS'd) over to Amazon's EC2 server earlier, and it seems to be a really nice and proper interface that may be a decent alternative.

You could use file_get_contents() to get the html of google, but you couldn't use opendir on it. Opendir only works on a locally-mounted filesystem.

Is anyone planning another SC tournament?

Well it looks like the blocking will not work out, because 4 legit users got blocked in a short amount of time 
My suggestion would be to just throttle their connection on the site if they're seen as bots. If for example they open 10 pages in under 30 seconds, make their connection slower.
Also maybe an alternate v5 theme with no skin image (except maybe a 8 bit version of the banner), and switch to that theme by default for blacklisted users.
I made it give them a captcha they have to solve before logging in. Updated the first post for the new script.

Ok good to hear. The SFS mod we have installed since a year ago does that too (or at least ours is set to do so).
This was a serious problem when we had RECAPTCHA installed in the registration page: Whenever RECAPTCHA server was down (which was pretty frequent), nobody could register on Omni at all, because the registration page stopped loading at the security code thing, with no Reigster button to click.
Also in case some of our members are in weird countries or universities, would there be a way to let them in with limited Omni features? For example, when the error page appears, have an URL with spaces that the person can type/copy/paste in his address bar, then he can get on Omni in mobile mode or something.
Right now they can e-mail me and I (or any other admin with FTP) can whitelist them. Also, ---------------------------
Count
---------------------------
585 match(es) to occurrence(s)
---------------------------
OK

If their server is down then the dns check will fail, and they'll be allowed to access the site.

I'll wipe it before it does.  I just updated the script in the first post to have more in-depth error responses, and I updated the test link to a link that'll use them.

 That's after like 2 hours. Edit: By the time I posted this, it was up to 350.

I was accidentally returning 403 Forbidden for all requests, not just those that are blocked. AJAX is reliant on the correct codes being returned.

Sweet, hopefully it helps. I've noticed there are a ton more spambots then usual these days.
EDIT: I think it broke the ajax though for loading quick reply, quotes etc.
Fixed. I did a stupid.

Yea. I put the captcha on it, though. Updated the first post too.
