DDos attack disrupts Ontario Secondary School Literacy Testing

 Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) confirms that the cause of the technical issues that resulted in the cancellation of the October 20 province-wide trial of the online Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) was an intentional, malicious and sustained Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack—a type of cyberattack.

 

An extremely large volume of traffic from a vast set of IP addresses around the globe was targeted at the network hosting the assessment application. The impact of this DDoS, initiated by an unknown entity or entities, was to block legitimate users’ (i.e., school boards’, schools’ and students’) access to the EQAO test application.

Why would some one spend so much money to stop a test. Seems like a parent to me.

Some up-to-date kids in there. Already using technology to delay something.

Paper never get hacked

paper is always more reliable on the fronts of testing and voting. electronic voting is another one that should be a gonner. maybe it was some crafty kid trying to mess stuff up for fun.. some kids in my country once laid down an isp their DNS servers for a day for fun.

just grow trees and recycle. that's how most paper is fabricated nowadays anyways. the internet itself isn't exactly responsible with energy either.

actually internet servers are probably very efficient

efficient is a pretty void term if you don't compare it to something. burning coal to run a generator so you can charge your phone is also pretty efficient if you compare it to buying a new phone. you also can't just say that the server is efficient, you would need to calculate in every server it passes trough and every computer the test was taken on including the manufacturing of the whole infrastructure and storage for the tests.

apparently the main benefit is saving money though it probably is slightly better for the environment

that depends on the implementation and the source of their energy, its a fair statement to make though.

No. Not really. The main goal is to save on the power bill, but most buff that up with redundancy anyways.

This reminds me of when the Alberta government set themselves up for a completely self inflicted DDoS when they tried making the written component of the English and Social Diplomas be fully internet based. TLDR, it was a mess as everyone tried to access the potato of a server that the government expected to be able to handle the traffic. I'm 99.9999999999% sure they didn't even bother stress testing it before setting it up.

paper is always more reliable on the fronts of testing and voting. electronic voting is another one that should be a gonner. maybe it was some crafty kid trying to mess stuff up for fun.. some kids in my country once laid down an isp their DNS servers for a day for fun.

Of course you can ddos a paper based analysis. You just need to deliver a load of stuff that looks like exams or voting slips. That's all a ddos really is.

yes but that is pretty easy to detect. the only way to make it really hard is by making sure every entry point duplicates the input. it also is a closed ecosystem in contrary to the internet, which is a mesh of ecosystems.

[BHS4K]

There are a 2 things I wanted to point out that were COMPLETELY WRONG the link posted above (I was doing the test).

1. It was not a DDoS attack, the hardware that they were using was absolutely ancient, and needed to be upgraded, they did not do such and having 100,000+ students log on at once, would be a lot of traffic for their servers, causing technical difficulties.

 

2. This is a point that I am really frustrated about: In the article they state that this was a voluntary test. Guess what WRONG. They were forcing students all across Ontario to participate in the test, treating us like lab rats. They informed everyone a week before causing a huge fiasco around my school, and I would assume, many others.

 

Now for something you do not know about this "voluntary test"

 

They had told us that if we pass the test you would not have to do it in March of 2017. They lied to us all and everyone across Ontario has to do it again. I actually finished the test when this was announced.This is a major point that pisses me off as I was trying to get it over with it so I do not have to do it again and this is what ended up occuring.

 Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) confirms that the cause of the technical issues that resulted in the cancellation of the October 20 province-wide trial of the online Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) was an intentional, malicious and sustained Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack—a type of cyberattack.

 

An extremely large volume of traffic from a vast set of IP addresses around the globe was targeted at the network hosting the assessment application. The impact of this DDoS, initiated by an unknown entity or entities, was to block legitimate users’ (i.e., school boards’, schools’ and students’) access to the EQAO test application.

Sorry, but that's not how it works here. This testing does not impact your grades at all, its supposed to 'show the growth' of our educational standards or something stupid like that.

Week long testing. Doesn't affect grades. 100% bullshit.

In my school, we call this 'testing' "Evil Questions Attacking Ontario" (I know it seems lame, but this is elementary school.)

[Droidbot]

This is great hahahah.. why does tech in education always fuck up one way or another. in Australia we have standardized testing in grades 3, 6, and 9 called 'naplan'.. you get the paper, you do it. the numbers go to the government and are used to show how your school does vs other schools in the country. no tech involved. last time they tried to make us do a spelling and comprehension test using our computers they left spellcheck on in chrome for all of us, making most people get 25/25.
