My friends server got nullrouted by two hackers, and he's hosting it on his personal vps, does anyone know how he can un-nullroute it?

DDoS? block thier Ip's

[Riddy]

Do you know what a nullroute is?

[FireNation]

Can the nullroute go off by itself?

Nullroute prevents the DDoS attack, it doesn't attack your server. So something weird is going on, or you have no idea what nullroute is.

I would guess that your server is being DDoS'ed and the attack isn't being routed away from your server.

The provider usually controls this. and usually tend to keep it under for 24 hours (Depends on the situation)

For your friend to remove the nullroute he has to do this:

first: route -n (to get the table list)

then he removes whatever nullroute's there is in that table by doing this:

route del ip.range.or.ip gw 127.0.0.1 lo

Good luck

How is he suppose to access this without being able to use it? Once null-routed, there cannot be any connections to the server as it'll just route the incoming traffic to nowhere.

Choose a host that won't nullroute you, OVH and burst.net are both good for this.
