can you verify with your IT guy how that DDOS prevention works? Cause Im not certain yet if that will help us, as I thought the DDOS we were seeing was a specialized protocol that worked well above OSI layers 4/5. I thought the DDOS attacks we were seeing were well into the cient protocol operation. IF that is the case then Im not sure this DDOS thing you have will help.

Can an expert who has analyzed the DDoS attacks comment here? Please let us know what your IT guy says. If this is viable then we all really need to go figure out how to make this work on our particular distros on our VPSs

Yes I would like to know this as well. If if does, I can deploy it on my VPSs

Forwarded this to him, I will let u know asap...

"The ddos-deflate bash script is a free anti-ddos solutions so if you suffer from a large scale DDos attack it will not be possible to stop it.

In that case you will need a hardware firewall in front from your VPS which are very expensive ( ~$30k ) or you could move to some host that provides anti-ddos firewall protection ( which is also too expensive).

So at the layer 7 DDOs attack attacker looks like a legitimate connection, and is therefore passed on to the application server.
At that time the attacker begins requesting large numbers of files/objects using HTTP GET.

The DDOS Deflate will monitor these requests (to the ports that we have already configure at the Iptables firewall or the Advanced Policy Firewall) and block the IPs that exceed the threshold that we have configure at the ddos.conf file."

I hope this help guys, my friend registered here but is isolated in the Newbies section atm.

I will be away today so I wish everyone a happy New Year with health, luck, love & wealth!

Ok thanks this is good info. Someone whohas analyzed our recemt ddos attacks would have to comment next
