Maybe it's because I just personally identify with the founders of github (i.e. entrepreneurial sw engineers), but I'm starting to get mad at whoever keeps doing this. Here's hoping that with all the smart people this is affecting, the people responsible will be tracked down and exposed.
may whoever is doing this be doomed to use SVN the rest of their lives ...
Maybe I'm naive, but could they be stealing someone's code? Otherwise I think it's just someone who's trying to prove something.
No data will be compromised, but it will still be a pain in the .. head.
Pretty please?
This is a service I pay for and my business relies on. Having it down three times in three days impacts our work.

It could just be some rogue deployment script running from EC2 that are a little more active that it should be. Imagine someone is deploying their 1GB repo from GitHub to 100 small EC2 instances :)
My startup cucumbertown.com is hit with similar issues. Initially we blocked all Ec2[1] & spamhaus ip list. But then realized Flipboard proxies[2], some blog aggregation proxies etc are based on Ec2 machines. What would be a good way to block such rogue machines? Is there a community sponsored list or Ec2/Rackspace ips that are creating issues? https://forums.aws.amazon.com/ann.jspa?annID=1528 http://flipboard.com/br…
Can we please use some of that 100 million investment to buy an infrastructure that is more resilient to these kinds of DDoS attacks? Pretty please? This is a service I pay for and my business relies on. Having it down three times in three days impacts our work.

"UGH GitHub down again, I guess I have to go work on something equally as important for upwards of an hour"
I call shenanigans on you, good sir.

Did it really impact your work, other than slightly inconveniencing you? "UGH GitHub down again, I guess I have to go work on something equally as important for upwards of an hour" I call shenanigans on you, good sir.
Since never. At least for businesses that want to remain an ongoing concern.

Care to elaborate why GitHub would be a target for a state sponsored DDOS attack? Seems a little far-fetched, for a website that is virtually unknown outside of the developer community
There's some statistic out there somewhere from some paper which found out that like 3 out of every 4 (or something ridiculous like that) cyber attack on the US government comes from China so...it's not that farfetched.
