Ddos tracking sites are eye candy and garbage. Stop using them.

Outages and nanog lists are your best bet, short of being on the right IRC channels.

[xwdv]

What are the right IRC channels?

[dudus]

I believe these are mostly non public channels where backbone and network infrastructure engineers from different companies congregate to discuss outages like this.

[kitteh]

Not just discuss, but fix too :)

[rolph]

also channels where hats of various type discuss advantages opportunities and challenges presented by such outages

[xwdv]

Which channels

[ficklepickle]

They wouldn't be non-public if they told us plebs

[rolph]

please dont call yourself that its more like i [and others] are hyper paranoid and marginal in behavior due to the nature of pastimes [i myself can promise you that im not malicious but i cant speak for others, i would leave it up to them to speak for themselves]

[rolph]

it isnt so much the channels that you want its the current IP of a non indexed IRC server[s] that you need, of course you could create and maintain your own dynamic IRC server and invite people that you trust or feel kinship toward.

here are a couple of "for instance" breadcrumbs for you to start from:
