We were the target of yet another DDoS attack over the past few days.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack The attacker(s) managed to bring the server down by draining it of all resources. I've been working with our hosting company on a more permanent solution since this has become a somewhat frequent occurrence. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Please let me know if there are any problems with the site, errors or other things not working properly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Yeah, ip level is tough. At one point I was blocking whole blocks. I can't keep ssh internal only but having 23 and 443 as the only ports help.
I remember back in the past century trying stuff like sending back Christmas tree scans on attacking ips but nowadays there is nobody home to care if your prey is trying to fight back. What are you going to do? Crack 250000 computers? |
