Ever been hit by DDoS?
 

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering if you have ever been hit by DDoS and how your provider has handled it?

My expirience,has been hit by http port 80 ddos type at 6 mbps,it has took dual xeon server down very fast and my provider was unable to stop it, theplanet.com

Yes, several times.

depending on the sevarity of the ddos a router engineer might have to be called to blackhole your destination IP. there are other ways to prevent it. if its a regular occurance. might want to have a security specialist look into some ways to prevent this. see icq below :)

if they are hitting port 80 just change your servers ip
The bad thing is when they ddos your DNS servers

Got recently attacked. All I ahve to say is that Swiftwill handled this like the server gods they are.

We have had serveral customers which were under attack, most of the times we manage to move the attack away from the server and stop it.

Spudstr:Fortunaly it has happened only twice :)
AdultEUhost:What do you mean by "moving an attack away from the server" ?
If someone is sitting there and watching a victim IP,he will reset his script to target a new IP
Long term protection could be a good firewall like Toplayer,Juniper etc

im cybering with deepsy all the time

does this count ?

some 2 months ago they took care :)

hmmm
ipfw

bringer:ipfw,doseasive and others but what if an attack goes 20 mbps+?
