View 4 Replieson one my root server runs a DDOS attack, apparently from a Botnet, however all have the same Referer. Who can give me Tipps, how I can prevent the attacks? Preferably evenly stop over the Referer?

unaccessiable because of the syn attack what would you advice do you advice cisco pix series or layeredtechs ddos protection PIX 501 Cisco PIX 501 Cisco PIX 501 - 1 Server Only - $99 Monthly Charge - $49 Set Up 99.0 i can buy this there are 1834 banned ips by the software firewall i am thinking is this cisco pix can handle a such attack
Well Using Apache It Can Be DDosed Off Very Easy If Not Setup Correct
Now Thing You Wanna Do Is
Set 25 Connections Per Ip
In Firewall
So That Only Allows Ip 25 Connections
Botnet DDos Attacks Always Use High Connections Like 50 - 100
And With It Set @ 25 It'll Ban IP Faster
Normal User Should Only Have 12 Connections To Server
APache Settings I Would Say How To But I Dont Have Apache Right Now
I Use Lite Speed
Our Security Technician found yesterday a 200 user botnet on a hidden IRC server and was able to quickly email the compromised systems information (just hostname) to our abuse email. So today i spent the last 2 hours sending emails off to web hosting companies, educational institutions and corporate companies telling them that their systems have been compromised, we regulary email out systems we have found compromised. The thing that stuns me is that most of the systems we found compromised on IRC are dedicated lines between 10MBPS to 1GBPS... I found a few hosting companies and will list them so they can be found by them:

Been having an annoyance lately, This kid has been ddosing a site on my server for 3 days. It has absolutely no effect on the server besides filling up iptables rules and annoying the crap out of me with ip ban emails. So not really a problem as far as knocking my server offline but the guy has been trying for 3 days and its annoying as heck.
So I got someone to track the net down for me its located on
208.110.**
port 5050 and port 5520.
I will post the full details if it is ok with mods
So I emailed their abuse the other day, no response, tried calling, nothing but answering machines. Nothing has been done.
This guy must really have some connections inside datacenters because I was seeing where he had botnets on fdc, they got reported and fdc sent him the abuse reports so he could attack them some more!
[url]
Yes this really happened and fdc even protected the guys identity by editing his name and info out of the complaint post
Anyway, I get to talking to some other webmasters, he has had his botnet on wholesaleinternet a few months now. It has been reported repeatedly with no action taken, no one can even get ahold of anyone at the datacenter. So either they just ignore the same abuse report for months or they know exactly what he is doing and dont care. Either way they wont shut him down for nothing,
Ive sent reports to the registrar today, lets hope they are the ones to take action. And hopefully someone who works at wholesaleinternet will see this thread and finally be shamed into doing something. or if anyone knows anyone who works there please pass this on.
Staminus Communications has been hosting a botnet forum, which distributes bots, worms, trojans, illegal clickers, and tons more, 95% of the site is illegal, and is forbidden by Staminus's provider yet they could care less as long as they get there money, I sent an abuse letter August 17th 2009, they even admitted things were illegal on the site, I pointed out several like the Google Adsense clicker bot which is highly illegal and which is nothing close to the other content hosted and/or linked to.
They are hosting unkn0wn.ws they refuse to remove the site or make them remove the illegal content which is most of the forum, which now forces me to send a letter to there provider and the cybercrime which I am now doing.
Now I guess they do not care about what they host, only if the person pays, so I guess I'm just going to expose it here for everyone to notice, because it's just going to get there data center raided over time by hosting illegal content and not removing it.
Let's see what you guys think, or what the admins have to say when they read this post.
What do you guys think when a provider does nothing about illegal content do you think it's the employee's that are at fault or the customer?
My server is currently underattack, I have been able to keep it up but after I ban 500 IPs, I get a lot of different IPs again.
Any idea or suggestion to do mass-ban to those attacking IPs?
tcp 0 0 xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:80 190.87.128.59:3965 SYN_RECV
tcp 0 0 xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:80 82.115.52.10:2323 SYN_RECV

Someone is trying to attack our server (I think so). When running apache status there are a LOT of connections from one network, all requesting the same page. But running: netstat -ntu | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n does show any of these IP's. So script blocking ddos attacks wont work. Anyone know what can I do about this?

What a disaster!
Examples of urls they trying to use:

Is there anything that can be done to prevent this mor*** from even trying to hack (except putting a bullet in his/their head)?
two of my website on the server was changed by the hackers.How did they do it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI think I'm experiencing some type of alternative to a DDoS attack. My server is being killed by thousands of emails being sent to fake accounts on my server.
I'm not a server administrator, so please bear with me.
My load average is skyrocking to 800.xx at times. I look at "top" and see "exim" for one specific user on my server. I own all the websites on my server, by the way.
When I look at my email queue, I see thousands of emails coming in to accounts that don't exist for that specific user. Let's say the domain name is salcollaziano.com. Somebody is sending spam to various salcollaziano.com aliases that don't exist. Like webmaster -at- salcollaziano.com and suzy -at- salcollaziano.com.
How can I prevent these spam emails from having any interaction with my server? It's causing me a lot of downtime on all the sites I have running on that particular server.
Not sure if it's a valid threat, but I would like to do the best I can to identify one as early as possible.
Can someone maybe give me an idea of what to look for? They were not specific on there type of attack, but I was hoping that there was maybe a log file I could tail and keep an eye out for irregularities.
my server got phisihing attack with bankamerica/paypal etc. i wounder because we have tight firewall/security etc. but any way this is teribel. i have found ip when look in to /var/log/messages -
its looks like (?@85.201.19.xxx). is it used anonymos ftp? i found same ip used to log in to another ftp host as well.
My server (Xeon 3.0Ghz) went down for no reason yesterday and ever since it was rebooted (and I've rebooted a couple of times since then), pages load extremely slowly or just timeout. Server load is constantly hovering around 1 and top stats indicate that the server's resources are not under heavy load, which is contrary to the usual pattern during peak times.
I've checked netstat and I notice a lot of SYN_RECV. Could this be a DoS attack? If so, what steps do I take to stop it?
my server is being ddosed and the network utilisation is at 40% of 1gpbs
i asked to softlayer to check and they said my programs/services is taking that much bandwidth
any1 can help me?
if my server is under dos attack wat can i do?
because the bandwidth used is about 50gb/hr
My server was hit with flood recently, to the point where I was unable to log in via SSH. Running 'netstat' command showed I was getting flooded with thousands of http requests from China/Saudi Arabia/Korea. I installed APF firewall and added those countries to deny list.
Next day I was hit from Russia and Romania and some others. By reading some posts on this site, on top of APF, I have also installed Dos Deflate. It was working for couple of hours, but then it stopped working. I could not even log in via SSH. My provider told me that APF was using all of the "conntrack" connections. I have increased conntrack connections to 130,000 (I have 4 Gigs of RAM on my server). Is that possible? (I have about 300 IP ranges in my APF deny list).
Next day, I was got hit by different attack: there was 11 Mbps of malicious traffic on average sent to my server. My provider put me behind firewall to mitigate against that kind of attack.
Currently, I am both behind the hardware firewall and I have APF and Dos Deflate running. However my server is not accessible.
When I request, I can log in for couple of minutes, but then I get kicked out.
I have been getting ddossed for the last month, my host has tried many things on my server that are commonly suggested around here, however we have over 40 000 connections hitting the server from this attack and it keeps rising.
I am on LiteSpeed.
I also have NetScreen 50 firewall which helped for a little while, however the server still keeps going down.
I am spending $420 a month on my hosting for my dedicated server
Now it is costing me an extra $400 a month to have Netscreen firewall running which is a waste of money as it can not effectively keep the server running and i'm not sure if I can even effectively afford that much money a month, however I might need to spend a little more if need to just get the server running finally.
basically I need some options as to what I can do. I would like to stay with my host, they have been good to me, however if my options are better suited to changing then let me know. I just really need to get my server running great asap and to keep it running great when i'm away from the internet.
today i have DDos Attack in my server in port :80
what is the better way to secure my server from DDos Attack
OS: Centos 4
Someone managed to get into my server and launched a DoS attack on someone else machine.
How do I find out the person who did this?
How do I find out how the person got in in the first place?
How do I make sure that it cannot happen again using the same method?
Today my system which is hosting the site bepenfriends got compramised(win 2k3) and now LT tech guys are working on it to reload the system with a data save. I was not having a hardware firewall which caused this problem. But i had windows firewall, windows malinious software removal tool (defender i haven't installed). I have updated all patches of win2k3 whch was released till today.
Now after restore it will be great work to bring my website back with all those rewritten urls and the softwares and its licenses.
Now please help me out in below stuff.
How to stop further attack and further compramisation of server.
My site is being attacked by what appears to be a dictionary attack on my mail account. They are sending e-mails to random accounts at my domain from random e-mail accounts from somewhere else. Each of their messages is coming from a unique e-mail address and a unique IP address.
Now, we have some dictionary ACL installed that basically blocks any IP address that is caught doing this. So we are blocking tons of IP addresses, but they keep coming at us with new ones. We also have it setup so that the mail is rejected right away for any accounts that aren’t actual e-mail accounts of yours. However, they are hitting the server so hard that it doesn’t seem to be making any difference.
I have a client who's server has got DDOS attack. It causes the network disruption and DC wants to turn off the server. My client feels it stupid to turn off the server just like that.
can large attacks prevented server side?
Ever since Monday morning, my site has had problems because the server at my host is under attack.
Most of Monday my site was down. Then Monday late afternoon, it came back...I thought. The forum is up and running, but the rest of the site, built on WordPress, is screwy.
Most of the plugins aren't working because of inability to connect with the database.
I can't log in to my cPanel at all and haven't been able to since Sunday.
This is the first time I've experienced anything like this, lasting this long.
It has me wondering if I should start considering a new host. I have loved their service, especially their speedy support (native English speaking to boot) so I hate to leave but I'm not sure if their service is going a little downhill or not.
I have a question related DDOS attack. My hosting provider told me that my Server was DDos attacked few days ago. But in those days my server worked fine only apache server was down. The strange fact is that in the same day with this "DDOS attack" one of theyr admins worked something on SSL section of my server and during this operation the SSL hosts were down and httpd worked slow.
Inthe passed 3 months httpd worked very slow and after 2-3 restarts of httpd service the load droped down below 3.00 . I believe theyr httpd service was already with problems and that SSL configuration cause that apache failure in that day with "ddos attack"
I repeat in that day ONLY ssl hosts worked fine and non SSL hosts were down.
It's possibile on DDOS attack that load to be unde 0.5 , SSL hosts to work fine, FTP, Mail and other stuf to work like there is nobody on server (VERY FAST)?

Or is this something else? It's been going on for about 40 minutes. I seen my load jump to 20, to 100 and back and fourth
I'm sure that i have Trojans and Viruses on my Server but every time i contacted My Company they ask me to pay money and then they will check and scan my server
so is it any Free application which can scan and remove all bad files on my Server? i'm looking for free applications to scan the whole server
My server stop responding, I couldn't access via webmin or ssh, and DNS were not responding, so I have to ask for a reboot and now everything is fine.

And searching that IP on google I found it here: http://www.tcc.edu.tw/netbase/net/in...?fun=240&prd=3
And is flagged as a SSH Attack.
Any ideas why my server stopped working? and how to prevent it?
Im using CentOS 5.0
