What happend to people having lives and friends? Did the world get so bad that everyone sits around watches porn eats pizza.. and then DOS attack sites? Like to be honest its annoying as hell but because its so easy everyone and there half sister do it.. There has to be a quick and easy way to stop it.. I mean my host has firewall to stop it.. but it always causes like 5seconds to 1 minute downtime. Gah.. GET A LIFE DAMN!
lol, I just feel sorry for the people trying to send DoS attacks shows they have no intellect at all. You can always call the ISP and get them cought, if its a skiddy you will find they don't try and hide themselves.
My host provider is getting me the IP i will take further action after I have that. Hope they had fun ^_^
joecool6101, Just ban the IP or the IP range that is ddosing you, it is easy as that. You can find the IP from your host records, I am not sure your ISP will give you the IP, if they even have the ability to get it sine they are ddosing your site and not your IP.
That being said... i am on the computer the majority of the day but constantly updating all my sites and on DP.. Not being an idiot and learning how to DOS sites...
You do realize DDOS is not something geeks in their moms basement do anymore, right? It's very much a for profit industry. Massive profit. Like the russian mob control MANY.
Well, a lot of botnets are primarily spam based(you have NO idea how much cash is in that industry still). But they do the DDOS attacks as a side activity. Sometimes they extort the business to end the attack. Sometimes it's paid for by a shady competitor. And sometimes it's because you just pissed someone off.
Short for denial-of-service attack, a type of attack on a network that is designed to bring the network to its knees by flooding it with useless traffic. Many DoS attacks, such as the Ping of Death and Teardrop attacks, exploit limitations in the TCP/IP protocols. For all known DoS attacks, there are software fixes that system administrators can install to limit the damage caused by the attacks.
Heh. Unless you're running a SCO Unix Installation from 1992, or Windows 3.1, you're relatively safe from most TCP/IP exploits, with the exception of it's limiations for concurrent open sockets.
