Since this has been more frequent as of late, can anyone shine some light on who might DDOS someone like github? Is there anything to gain or is this just sadism?

does every downtime have to be submitted? it happens every other day and interested parties already know that and the status page.

Anyone know who they're getting hit by yet?

Anyone thinking about hosting locally should check out Git and Gitolite. I've created a screencast about them @ <a href="http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/11-internal-git-server-with-gitolite" rel="nofollow">http://sysadmincasts.com/episodes/11-internal-git-server-wit...</a>

Anyone know what the motivation of these attacks might be? I can't imagine anything to gain from DOSing Github and I certainly can't imagine any of their direct competition doing it.

Possible motivation: Someone just finished their hack at the facebook hackathon (going on right now), and is DDOSing github to stop everyone else in their tracks :)

It is up right now. <a href="https://status.github.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.github.com/</a>

Bitbucket is also down for the count.

Seems to be working for the moment for me.

Sounds like they need to be talking to Prolexic...
