But as mentioned, a lot of attacks can be stopped simply by proper tuning of your IP stack and some simple firewall rules.
My question is as a new Dedicated Server Owner what tuning and rules do I need to implement in order to protect me from these "small scale DDoS Attacks"?
I do not run a DDoS prone site(i hope not lol) but I want to secure myself as much as possible and have a headache free run other than the headaches I cause myself of course.
Understanding DDOS Attacks
Aug 3, 2009I want to understand the mechanics of a DDOS attack. I have been doing a lot of reading about them this weekend.
The way I am understanding it, a DDOS attack is done at the network level. It may be requesting that pages from a given website, or websites, are served up, but it basically will effect the entire network. So if 'page display' requests are made to a website(s) that is hosted at ABC Hosting (example only), to the tune of 15GBs then I have to assume that the network will be terribly degraded. If that is so, wouldn't other servers also get taken out?
I believe the architecture of the internet is something like this (example only):
Gnax --> Planet, SoftLayer, RackSpace, etc.. --> Reseller --> Smaller Reseller --> Me
If that is true, is each level along that route using their own networking system or are they all dependent on ones that major Data Center uses?
Ddos Attacks And A New Webhoster
Jan 12, 2009My current site has been taken offline since it was being ddos attacked, been with my current hosters for 3years at least, but with recent events they gave me the option to shift my site to a dedicated server or me to move of bascially. (impression I get now, since they seem to be taking longer to reply to my messages) I was being ddos attacked since I refused to give a copy of me software to the visitor at my forums/site.
ive been looking round site after site and I cant make up my mind who to shift too, also if that same idiot who ddos attacked me does it again before I can take any action, I would be in the same situation again.
I have multiple domains and all my sites in total are about 5gig in size, cpu usage is avergae and queries roughly about 15/17 the most, I currently pay £130.00 a yr
I have had few bad experiences with hosting companies but learnt along the way, and assumed my current hosters would be a reliable place to stay at. My sites been offline since friday and I would like to get it back up again asap. Last thing I want to do is rush into a hosting package and be stuck in a dud situation.
I would also like to take action upon the person who has been ddos attacking me, I managed to get hold of his details and I also have confirmation that they are correct, what can be done legally?
Best Firewall For DDoS Attacks
Mar 23, 2009My sites are getting heavy DDoS attacks.
What's the best firewall? I'm currently using ACH software firewall but the attacks are getting so bad my site's are going down (apache is shutting down/locking) and sometimes my server even crashes.
Anyone recommend a better software firewall or a really cheap but good hardware firewall?
Could my host just use a router or something as the firewall or would that not do? I'm looking for something really affordable as a solution.

Mar 18, 2008As many of you already know, not everyone has the money to spend on physical firewalls, for example a cisco firewall. I would like if everyone could share little tips and tricks towards securing a server they learned over time. Nothing in big detail. I thought if we all share our ideas, it would help quite alot of other people. For example, here is a good layout I believe. Please note this is towards a game server setup.
Shorewall Firewall - Block Unneeded Ports + Block Ping
Apache Web server - Installed with "mod_security"
SSH-Faker - Stop thoes bots from trying to gain access to SSH (Guessing Passwords)
DDoS Deflate - For me, does not really work. (I know, mainly for port 80 so webhosting) But still have it installed.
Bash Scripts Monitoring # of connections per ip with Netstat.
PSad - Monitoring and Reporting Port Scans (Optional automatic timed block)
VNStat - Monitor Current/Monthly/Yearly Bandwidth (Does not hog resources)
I'm guarenteed to of left alot out than just the above. If some of you could also share some simple things you do for securing a server, would be great.

Q: Prevent DDoS Attacks With Restarting Httpd?
Jan 12, 2008Can you restart the httpd to get the server online again while you are under an DDoS attack?
The reason for asking is that I was told that when restarting the httpd it should start to work again instantly, and so it seems.
But why? doesnt the attack "continue" after the restart?
Security To Stop DDoS Attacks And Stuff
May 19, 2009My host tells me that they have security to stop DDoS attacks and stuff, however today my server load jumped to 17.12 and my site went down giving me a "Network Timeout" error.
My host tells me it's my fault that I am using too many resources. The MOST my site has been on load is 3.06 and that was around lunch time a few weeks back. It's 11:43 and the server load is 17.12? I think my host is pulling my leg. I have not added ANYTHING new to my site and have not changed anything in 3 days. The load has been fine till today.
I use In Motion Hosting.
Colo Provider That Handles DDoS Attacks
May 21, 2007One of the sites I run is a forum with a political component, and 4-5 times over the last week we've been seeing DoS attacks. They're not terribly sophisticated -- generally 1-3 compromised servers throwing packets my way -- but they're enough to clog my pipes and take my sites down.
What I'd like to do is put a new server up at a data center that's D(D)oS aware that can hopefully respond to these attacks automatically. My current provider has been giving solid support, but the best they can do is null route the affected IP, rather than filtering the incoming attack.
Can y'all name a few providers I should look into? Right now I'm just looking to move 1 box (or maybe a box and a firewall depending on the setup).
Reliable Hosting Provider That Protects Against DDOS Attacks
Dec 26, 2008Can someone please recommend a hosting company that offers 24 hours toll free phone support with very good DDOS protection services?
Our server has been attacked for the past couple weeks and current host can just null route the IP being attacked but cannot offer anything beyond that...which does not help us. We are talking about large 3 GBPS attacks.

Multi Core Or Multi CPU
Apr 10, 2008I'm starting to do my homework on a dedicated server and am really not that savvy on what's best for my needs.
Firstly, I'm just trying to determine how much grunt I need and am not really sure of the benefits of multi-core vs single core vs single processor vs multi processor.
I've been running on a low density VPS with 1 Gig ram for a while and it's doing fine but won't handle this setup too much longer. My site does a very high amount of disk read/writing and for the size of my site there are a lot of database calls.
I'm thinking a multi-processor will do wonders for a database intensive site, but will a single multi-core process do fairly well also? My budget is at the low end and obviously I can afford more for a multi-core single processor.
Being Ddos'd By A U.K Ddos Protection Company - Dragonara.net
Nov 7, 2008it's come under my attention that dragonara.net has been ddosing me today since morning from the ip:
194.8.75.229
What's so ironic about it is that the ip is from a UK DDOS protection site so i'm expecting some email with their services in the next hour or so. Stay clear of them they are fakes and e-terrorists.
Gigenet
Apr 30, 2009I signed up for a basic dedicated server (carbon.aeflexmedia.com/69.65.42.26) from Gigenet back in September. It's now almost May, and I've got one simple thing to say about Gigenet - they are incredible.
I had a small issue when first getting the server, where I was supposed to have VPN/KVMoIP access and didn't have it, but a quick phone call to their support team, and a couple of hours later, I had the server setup with VPN and KVMoIP. Aside from that, as well as a few tickets regarding IP/PTR requests, I haven't had to use the support very much, but when I do contact support, replies come typically within 5-10 minutes, sometimes even less.
The network is incredible, definitely the best network in the Midwest, maybe even the US. It's never down, and latency is always low to my location in suburban Chicago, on both DSL and Cable. If there are any issues, their team are always willing to solve the issue.
The server's an Intel Core2Duo E7200, with 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB Hard Drive. The hardware is top notch, and I haven't had any issues with it. The server also has KVMoIP/IPMI, which is accessible through the control panel, as well as through VPN.

View 11 Replies View RelatedGigenet Review
Jan 6, 2009I've never written a review before neither have i really remained active on these forums, but i'd like to give you my small updated review of Gigenet if it would help.
I can honestly say i've only been with these for a week at the most thus going to give a monthly update on my hosting experience with Gigenet. If you don't fancy reading through this whole post then let me make it quick for you, i've purchased a dedicated server from them and they're fantastic - i would highly recommend them to anyone. But if you fancy reading through my so called detailed review then feel free to read on.
The Setup
-----------
I ordered at about 10pm GMT (what time this is in the US i do not know) but i woke up the following morning with all the details i needed to start working on the dedicated server. The time was 23:23:51 when i receieved details for the server so the setup was a little under 1 hour and a half. I'll let you discuss the setup time, but i thought it was fantastic.
The Support
-----------
I'm very new to the web hosting industry (i've had experience with resellers before) so i've required a lot of help from their sales and support - which i can happily say has been the best experience i've had from a company such as theirselves before. They've been able to reply to all my support tickets within 5 minutes and i've started about 5 different tickets on numerous occasions requiring help, they gave a prompt reply with everything i needed to know.
The Staff
------------
Brilliant support staff and very helpful, just what you'd want to pay for. The staff make sure you're happy with the support they have given you, fantastic support usually very detailed helpful responses. Just like to say a personal thanks to each staff member for being polite and helpful with all my requests. Not forgetting the sales staff either, Brandon Hale - very helpful guy, i'm sure the others are as well.
The Pricing
-------------
I'm assuming it's not the lowest pricing in the world, it's always possible to find better deals elsewhere but i would seriously pay more for the service Gigenet has to offer, it's well worth it. If the service they have provided so far is going to continue which i'm sure it will, then i'm going to be using these guys for years to come.
The Uptime
-------------
It's just what you'd expect for a weeks of hosting really, 100%. But the service they run is definately professional so i can't see any problems persisting, but i'll update you all with this information as time passes. I've not met any other problems as of yet either, but again i'll update you on my progress.
Again, i can't emphasise enough how happy i am to be a customer of Gignet's and i'm going to be a customer for a while to come. I hope this small review has been of any help to anyone currently researching Gigenet. I also really apreciate the fantastic service Gigenet has currently provided, so i thought i'd show some apreciation and post a review for them.

Jan 8, 2009We have servers in many DC's FDC, Singlehop, DedicatedNOW, ThePlanet, but no one set up our servers faster than Gigenet. I placed the order and 2 hours later I get my server login details and all the plugins I needed were also installed. I also read on their website that 95% of the servers get deployed within 2 hours which is great! I have contacted support 2 times and they replied quickly and they did exactly what I asked for. So far so good and will update everyone in a couple of months on how everything goes.
