DOS attack

On 6/22/2026, the TTOS Linux Web server suffered a massive DOS attack by a bot that took advantage of the open registration of the gitlab server. Because of this, I will now have to pre-screen all registrations prior to gaining access to source code. Because there were so many registrations and each one made a lot of fake repos storing pharmacy ads in german, the server inode was filled to max 100% over time until the server was offline from full inode. The problem is now fixed. There was no data breach, the data remains secure. To prevent future bot attacks, I will have to disable auto registration and approve. Since so many registration requests are coming in, any one seriously interested in viewing or contributing to TTOS Linux source code should email me directly at tomtravers@ttpc-systems.com to request for me to add you. This will help me filter your request from the mass of bot requests. Thank you for your understanding and enjoy your night.
