Prevent light DDoS Attacks by Hardening Your Server - Simple Tutorial

If you own a dedicated server, and you are annoyed by Script kiddies DDoS-ing your server, then its time to do some server hardening!!

Well, My one of my sites was getting DDoS-ed continuously ( checked using netstat ) ..1000+ connections from some IPs!!

So I did server hardening and the DDoS attacks were blocked automatically!

I have made a blog post, and i want to share this all with you.
