As we prepare to ramp up new networks, we are looking at different network attack protection devices such as Intruguard.
I am interested in input on other devices out there, or ideas using devices to protect against flood attacks and DDOS on a network that is under a gig in speed (100-200 Mbps).
I am looking for some good ddos protection providers, via protected dns. I've searched on internet, but most of them are really expensive.
Please tell me some ddos protection providers what could help me.(gige is too expensive btw).
And I found some ddos protection scripts. How can a script protected a server from ddos? A sript like CSF or DDoS deflate?
any experiences to report about purchasing used / refurb gear from either Network Liquidators (nweq.com) or Network Hardware (networkhardware.com)?

View 4 Replies View Relatedso a guy I know runs a site, it's being hit very hard with a DDoS attack. He's spending about 500 /month to keep his site online. He's using ServerTech, but for the last few days, it's been offline and they have been non-responsive for the most part. I'm guessing they just don't know what to do.
Do you guys have any recommendations for any DDoS protected hosting? He doesn't really want to pay more, if he doesn't have to.
What exactly does the DoS protection layer 2-4?
in which attacks are successful.?
one of my server were hit by massive ddos syn atack. target was port 80-apache
i am running centos 5 in xen vps iptables were strong with syn filtering and limit
but...what can do?
if any of you could recomened a ddos prottected vps that allows ircd to be run im curentley in process of waiting for setup from sharktek but there slow response /setup time is making me wonder if its worth it please post your recommendations here then i can start my own reasearch from your list
View 11 Replies View RelatedIs bound to happen to my server one day or another (get attacked). So I need help deciding whether to get a DDoS protection server now or later. Or pay as I go (I'll explain this in a bit).
First of all I am considering getting this because I want to use this server to hide the real source where people are downloading from. People connect only through FTP server and download. Of course if I give the real IP away I am subject to attack at anytime from anyone.
I think if I buy a server somewhere else and have people connect to there then that server will connect to the real server if I was to get attacked the server I bought "somewhere" else would only get attacked which would or would not be protected by a that special company who protects for these kind of things.
Only downside so far is I have been able to have the method above done. A person connects from one server which connects to the real server they will be downloading from BUT I use up to 2x bandwidth. Because when someone requests a file from server A...server B sends to server A then sends back to the user requesting it. A process that well works but anyone know if instead of sending back to Server A it will go directly to the user without exposing any info on the real server?
When I meant "pay as you go" I mean have a server with a DDoS protection company but don't get any protection until it happens rather than waiting on the last minute before switching to them (like adding new users now but those users knowing the real source).
These "users" downloading do about 106GB average. So you can see how big a downside is having to use 2x of bandwidth from the method I know above. The companies I am on do not have DDoS protection that I know of so I am forced to look for external companies to use to connect to the real source.
-So far everyone knows the real source IP but that is because I trust them. Anyone else is waiting to get on it and me looking for ways to put them on.
//hopefully you enjoyed my big paragraphs.
-And what kind of "protection" would I need if only FTP is being used since there is "specialized" kind of filtering on attacks.
I was located in modvps.com, but I was asked to find another hosting because of DDoS attacks on my VPS.

Is there a way to enable hotlink protection so that when I edit a page from my computer the pictures from the server display from my server but my site is still protected from other hotlinking. My intent is to make it easier for someone to edit there page.(i know I could just reupload image files but I was trying to think of a way to make it easier for someone else) I thought adding my ip address to the cpanel hotlink protection enabler would do the trick but it hasn't.
View 4 Replies View Relatedwanting to password protect a directory and all FILES and DIRECTORIES under it as well.
I have tried the password protection system in plesk, simply put it doesnt work, sometimes it just doesnt restrict any access and the files can still be downloaded / accessed, and sometimes it asks for a password but even if typing the correct info it sais its a wrong password.
each time i setup the p/w i do it the exact same way, but its random about when it works and when it doesnt.
So, i tried the simple .htaccess way, and i still get the same problem. Can someone reccomend something to me? maybe a free php script that can do this? i need something fairly secure, doesnt need to be some super duper crazy script but at least so people cant just download the file containing the passwords and then they have access.
I have a plesk panel and i had a look for hotlink protection but unfortunately couldn`t find the proper option.
I guess there is a hotlink protection at windows version of plesk but not at linux one. I have a linux server.
Also i have a question about hotlinks also, one of my customer has a site that it uses too much bandwith like 600 gb at a month. It is an education related site and site is html.
And i am having some high load issues. When i check apache-status it shows %90 of the connections for that site. But i cant be sure that if it site really makes high load on server because like i told site is html. Also would like to know if server get s load for example if visitor wants to download something from site.
Because visitors are usually downloading zip, mp3 and those kind of files and i dont know if that many download cause the high load.
Also will it reduce the load of the server if i put hotlink protection to that site because of chance for other sites to leech files from this site?
Edit : If there isn`t any option for hotlink protection at Plesk panel how can i enable hotlink protection. Maybe using htaccess, but i would be glad if you can provide hotlink protection code also
Anybody have good experiences with some software based Apache 2.2 ddos protection. Im trying to find something similar then mod_evasive.
It's just that evasive won't work with Apache 2.2. It actually works, but it does not do what it is supposed to do.
Have tryed many different configuration, but it just won't do it.
After Googling i found out that many have suffered same kind of experiences with mod_Evasive and Apache2.2
I guess it is not working cos we got Peruser there. http://www.telana.com/peruser.php
Means that there is many differend child processes and evasive don't share data between childs.
So suggest me something. This is coming on prodution server with hundreds of domains so it has to be stable, fast and rock solid.
I have a budget of $20 monthly. I want to get a VPS, 500+ram, 15+gb, DDOS protection, managed, cpanel preferred. Which BIG webhost do you guys recommend? The webhost need to be big. Forget the small webhost, I am having a horrendous experience with a small webhost right now, and desperate for a change for better service, and quality.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am interested in a VPS package, but that one doesn't have DDoS protection from the server side. Is it a really bad advantage? I am constantly hearing about DDoS attack that takes down the site. If it is not offered fromthe Server End, is there anything the user can do to protect/prevent from DDoS attack? Like..is DDoS protection solely from server provider only?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of any virus protection software that will work with Cpanel. Actually it probably doesn't have to work with Cpanel.. but here is my situation..
I have a lot of people uploading PDF’s and Word docs to our MySQL database, for other people to download. So far I have been downloading the files to my computer first and scanning them, then approving them. it would be nice if I can automate this check some how. I'm wondering of anyone out there does this sort of thing with the dedicated servers they run. Maybe just putting virus software on the server is good enough.
I was looking for a basic DoS protection against scriptkiddys.
I heard nginx is better as apache against DoS attacks.
if your web host has some hardware ddos protection and i'm assuming it blocks the ip address/addresses of a DDOS attack, will it Unblock that ip address/addresses after a certain amount of time?
Because a person's computer may unknowingly be part of a botnet that does a ddos attack, and that innocent person won't be able to access the server if their ip address is not unblocked by the ddos hardware right?
I know I am getting SYN flooding and server comes on KNEE and somehow I see that MY CSF is not helping me when I really need it.
I see that CSF is just not blocking those IPs despite of more than 500 requests sent per second from those IPs. I can manually block them but I want CSF to block them automatically as it is supposed too.
HERE Is my CSF config: .....
Just thought I would post some information regarding a "backdoor" in which many web hosts fail to secure.
If you run WHMCS on the same server you setup client accounts, someone can simply sign-up and easily access your WHMCS configuration file.
All it takes is for the user to upload a shell script and execute the following command:
Quote:
cat /path/to/your/configuration.php-file/
From there, they can access your configuration settings (MySQL) and create an administrator account.
How to fix:
If you have already disabled functions in your php.ini file, then you should be fine. If not, you will want to disable the following functions in your php.ini file:
Quote:
disable_functions="exec, shell_exec, proc_close, proc_open, pope n,system, passthru, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, symlink"
You may want to enable safe_mode as well, but this may cause issues for certain scripts.
I would highly recommend installing mod suPHP and php cgi or simply move your "master" account to a different server.
What are some of the companies that have good, proven DDoS protection? Regardless of price.
I have done some searching, but wanted some outside opinions.

Does anybody know which rules should be used to allow hotlinking of files with *_thumb* in their file name and block hotlink of all other files?
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan you suggest some other places one can get good ddos protection?
View 0 Replies View RelatedOne of the sites at my server is using over resource and causing slowdown to other sites. Because even i am still waiting for my in/out traffic graph, i guess leechers are giving link to those files from other websites and directly downloading from my server.
As a result, site is using around 1.5 tb of bandwith. It was not a big issue before but now server connection is 10 mbps, it was 100 mbps at old server.
So we have 2 options at this point, upgrading connection or activating hotlink for files.
But i don´t really know how to protect .zip and .rar files being downloaded from other sites by direct link to file. I tried hot link protection at cpanel. It is working well for image files, but when i add zip and rar files to protection list, nothing changed. I can still download the file by clicking direct link from other site.
This is the second time I have been DDoS Attacked and it is losing my customers and my reputation. I personally think it is a rival company trying to put me out of business. So to prevent further attacks I need so protection. Is there some kind of software based protection or is it only hardware?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know if anyone in this community has had any experience with creating a home brewed ddos protection for their servers. I am not sure if this is possible, I was told that you can make some pretty strong firewalls by simply using a linux box.
Basically I wanted to know if someone can let me know if it is first possible to create your own ddos protection for your servers. If so is it better to use linux(which distro is best) or windows? And what software should be used with the os?
I have also heard there are router that provide ddos protection, but I am on a budget and could not seem to find a good piece of hardware for a good price.
does anyone on this forum know how to do a referral check to prevent hot linking to files that are on a nginx server? There is this regex code you use but I don't know how to put it together. how to do it on nginx using their rewrite module?
View 12 Replies View RelatedAfter a year we are here to see if we have any changes in the market of ddos protection equipment that dedicated server companies or datacenters can use to protect their networks and clients from different kinds of attacks.
If the solution you use is not listed there,
We have an older dual xeon box that we are wanting to use as the edge firewall to our network.
We are currently considering FreeBSD w/ PFSense or Linux w/ IPCop, but from what I see, I don't see that they do too much against DoS.
I saw a thread before on this topic but it didn't really give me any new information.
I would like to hear from users who use a *nix firewall, please let me know which you use, what it has helped you with since you started using it instead of a software firewall on your dedi servers, and have you been successful in filtering out or mitigating DDoS attacks?
We only are planning on pushing ~200mbit through this so we feel a dual xeon should be plenty.
