[Resolved] LLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut

SourceHut continues to face disruptions due to aggressive LLM crawlers. We are continuously working to deploy mitigations, instead of doing any of the other numerous things we have to do, like develop new features, upgrade our infrastructure, or respond to support emails in a timely manner.

We have deployed a number of mitigations which are keeping the problem contained for now. However, some of our mitigations may impact end-users.

If you are unable to use the SourceHut web UI:

First, log into your SourceHut account. Logged-in users bypass some of our mitigations. If that does not work, please contact support on IRC or via email.

If your cloud server is unable to reach SourceHut:

We have unilaterally blocked several cloud providers, including GCP and Azure, for the high volumes of bot traffic originating from their networks. If you have a legitimate reason to access SourceHut from these networks, you must email support to request an exception. Explain your use-case and provide the affected IP addresses.

Note that our mitigations targetting cloud servers affect git operations.

[Resolved] Ongoing DDoS of git.sr.ht and hg.sr.ht

Mitigations completed: We believe that we have the attack under control and that there is no need for end-user impacting mitigations to remain in place. (09:00 UTC — Jan 3)

Attack still ongoing, but under control: Good morning. The attack is still ongoing, but we have been refining our mitigations this morning. We addressed some cases which were causing git and hg to crash under load, and narrowed our mitigations to better characterize the load. All of our mitigations have now been disabled for logged-in users, reducing the impact on legitimate traffic – if you hit an error page, log in and try again.

Thank you for your patience. (09:00 UTC — Jan 3)

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on git.sr.ht is underway: An attack similar to the one we encountered in December is once again underway, summoning our sysadmins out of their holiday plans. We have deployed mitigations which have mostly restored service but there are some user-facing impacts for the time being.

Happy new year! (19:30 UTC — Jan 2)
