Oopsie! https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/10/what-happened-to-facebook-instagram-whatsapp/ "Doug Madory is director of internet analysis at Kentik, a San Francisco-based network monitoring company. Madory said at approximately 11:39 a.m. ET today (15:39 UTC), someone at Facebook caused an update to be made to the company’s Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) records. BGP is a mechanism by which Internet service providers of the world share information about which providers are responsible for routing Internet traffic to which specific groups of Internet addresses. In simpler terms, sometime this morning Facebook took away the map telling the world’s computers how to find its various online properties. As a result, when one types Facebook.com into a web browser, the browser has no idea where to find Facebook.com, and so returns an error page."

Dolphin posted:this would be the funniest thing to happen since 9/11 so probably didn't happen the "whistleblower" thing was just a facebook employee going on national tv for the newswatching audience and explaining all the same poo poo that facebook employees have been saying about facebook in several hundreds of articles online for the last decade

If a simple configuration change caused this, it should be able to be changed back easily and quickly (I don't know much about BGP though). Fingers crossed for a massive hack.

The bridge will be back soon enough yeah the tweet isn't inaccurate but it is overblown hosed up BGP routing does mean the site is "gone" but that's not the same as it being physically gone. the network wizards can un-gone it as soon as they can actually get into the data center lol Fiddler on the Reef posted:Ya but it's been down for 5 hours. If a simple configuration change caused this, it should be able to be changed back easily and quickly (I don't know much about BGP though). Fingers crossed for a massive hack. its not a hack. the problem is that since facebook self-hosts so much stuff that if someone did a whoopsie on the DNS servers then that immediately cancels nearly every tool they have to fix it. like they're having to irl assemble the network admins and routing techs to get them physical access to the servers to unfuck things because every way they could remotely fix it is tied to the thing which is itself broken Mr. Fall Down Terror fucked around with this message at 21:53 on Oct 4, 2021 |

Fingers crossed for a massive hack. the Good Part about all of this is that depending on what caused it it may not be within Facebook's capacity to fix themselves. This stuff is a lil above my pay grade but from my understanding of routing tables there's possibly no clear singular point where a problem exists right now and it could take a concentrated global effort to restore DNS to facebook.com - like, the problem affected everyone but it may be up to individual network infrastructure providers to repair it but it could just be something someone at fb could fix by refreshing their zones or some poo poo idk

Makes you appreciate drifting derelicts like this forum, held together with early-century low tech PHP glue and paperclips, much of which was probably composed on CRT screens. Just a thinly skinned database holding posts from random strangers. Barely even a search function. Mere wisps of javascript. No twitchy frameworks, no live anything watching and analyzing every keystroke and reading your messages before you've even sent them. Every interaction here a form submission causing complete page reloads. Completely static HTML. A baroque anachronism.

Dolphin posted:if this isn't the only problem but a symptom of a bigger network issue Yeah, the bigger network issue that was discussed in the 60 Minutes issue yesterday. FB runs smooth for 15+ years with hiccups that only knock it out for minutes or an hour here or there, then the site seems totally purged from DNS records, it stops being accessible by known IPs and there's various tweets about offices going into siege modes. I doubt all of this is coincidence.

Even if they couldn't badge in, they could use a jack hammer on the door or whatever and manually update the bgp tables to the prior configs. It's gotta be bigger. I *want* it to be bigger. IT"S BIGGER DAMMIT. So I'm gonna go with a long term site reliability eng prod sudoer spent the last several months putting this together as a pet project. One can dream.
