Perhaps it's me but I've been having varying problems accessing them. Today, I get nothing loading. I was curious if anyone else, who has an account, has had the same issue. Traceroute and whois show the server as being up and IntelliTamper shows no response when a HTTP request is put forth.
I had visited them last week without problem. Perhaps they have been compromised?
It's broken here too. :)Quote:

I'd guesstimate it's not a webserver listening on TCP80 anymore, so maybe it has been compromised. Or someone goofed.

same here, i've been trying it for about 2 days now, and still no luck :(
wonder what happened....
Yea i have the same problem.
I tried using WGET and got the following which seems odd because it connects and then drops me.

I'm showing the server (IntelliTamper) on IP 82.165.242.152 on port 80, but I get the page not found and DNS error message.
just got then fine, just lettin u know
Yea works for me now to.
I have noticed over the past few weeks that there have been problems connecting to the site as well. About 50% of the time I get in fine, with a little lag, and the other times I dont get anything. Wonder if its a performance issue with the servers?
I've been having trouble as well. I am getting the site to come up, but only after waiting about 30 to 45 seconds... or more. Must be a problem with their server or a problem with their bandwidth being used up...
edit: I attached a ss of a database error, maybe it will help
im getting when i try to access the forums
mySQL error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11)
mySQL error code:
Date: Monday 20th of December 2004 02:29:35 PM
but was getting to them fine this morning
I can connect to the server just fine, but the forum is returning the error the Tedob1 posted above.
Odd. I was able to connect to it this morning. I have suspicions that someone is hitting them, probably because either the person was banned or because registration was closed.
same here (again), this morning everything was fine, now the forums are offline again... all the other links on the site seem to work tho.....
[edit]here is the reason they are down, server problems :([/edit]
today i tried to enter there, but it gave sql errors...
i wonder what's happening to GSO nowadays...
I have been getting there fine till a few days ago, now I dont even get errors. Seems they took the site offline, hopefully to fix the bugs with the new board. They upgraded recently, so I think that was part of the problem.
Telnetting to 80 gave me a message that:
"governmentsecurity.org is in the middle of moving the server"
"Quit bugging me so I can get it done"
Strange because I was able to get there in a browser (site and forum) a few minutes ago. Oh well, now I can't.
i get there fine using my browser
the way i see it GSO is one guy (Blake Wiedman) in Matawan NJ running a site from a server located on a server in Germany (registered to, but it keeps moving). maybe he doesn't have the help JP did but still he's doing a bang-up job. look at all the problems packetstorm had!
i know nobody is balming the owner, but i just wanted to point that out.
The main problem is many problems.
Been speaking to w00dy about server issues, and a couple of them were just due to the server needed to be rebooted (the mySQL errors) and also because majority of the staff were on holidays, and only a couple were still there
but it seems to be up now so im happy
