UDP D/DoS Attack - Best Prevention
Apr 27, 2008
I would like to know what are the best ways in preventing a UDP D/DoS Attack. DDoS-Deflate and most programs like that are just for TCP connections, and most of the time only for port 80. What is the best option out there for protection (linux wise) for UDP attacks. I was using shorewall before but it did not do so well so I just switched now to CSF [url] with WebMin and seems to be working ok. Even though thoes are both firewalls, they seem to have some protection against UDP Attacks. Please note this is a server that just hosts some game servers, no webhosting. What would be my best option here?

I have searched for prevention methods and explanations on what DoS's and DDoS's are capable of. I was hoping someone could shed some light on free alternatives that would help reduce these attacks or help to make me aware if one were to occur.
Linux Distro: CentOS 5.3
I am not running apache or any web related services on my machine.
I run a dedicated server for the sole purpose of hosting a few game servers. I have already contacted my provider and they offered a $599 /mo plan for prevention. This is unreasonable and I simply cannot afford it. I have been threatened with a DDoS because one of my administrators banned a player constantly creating drama, stress, and breaking rules.
I simply cannot afford a gigantic bandwidth bill and this scare tactic has made me a little weary. Is there anything I can do to reduce the damage?

My host has told me that my forum is coming under a DDOS attack. Once was on Friday March 20th and again today (monday march 23). Before those two, there are attacks almost every week, sometimes twice a week.
The host installed DoS-Deflate. It started blocking legitimate traffic and had to be removed.
The operating system is Linux CentOS, the forum software is VBulletin. The server is a VPS with 1 gig of memory.
Besides DoS-Deflate, what other options are out there?

if anyone knows a script that is url rewrite mods that can fix this hotlink issue by having the link url change every 20 minute.

one of my clients seems to be attracting unwanted attention, it seems as if bots or something along those lines are attempting to exploit my box, while they are unsuccessful it would seem. I was wdonering if there was a rule I could put in Mod_Security that would ban them for attempting to

I recently initiated "Hot Link Prevention" on one of my web sites on my Dedicated server (via CPanel). It woks well in re-directing hotlinked images to a small image that says "Unauthorized Hotlink Image." This of course prevents other web sites from leaching my bandwidth. However, I have had a number of people complain that when they visit my forum, they don't get my site's images, but instead see the Unauthorized Hotlink Image. The common thread seems to be the people with the problem are using Security Software. In one case, a guy is using Norton Confidential. Another guy is using some Security software provided by his ISP. I'm guessing that this security software is somehow messing with the Referer in tehir browser and confusing my server into thinking the images are being hotlinked from some other site. Short of turning off Hot Link Prevention, does anyone have any suggestions to tell the folks...are there settings in their Security Software for example that will prevent the problem when they visit my site?

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.
Looking at the logs I found this:
Code:

Jul 18 19:26:00 server sshd[18509]: Did not receive identification string from 61.145.196.117
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

My site currently in prolong HTTP flood attack since 2 weeks ago. The attack was never stop and for this moment i could only mitigate the attack using my own firewall (hardware).
Since my ISP is not interested to help from upstream, even provide any mitigation services, i could only doing mitigation on my own source or using proxy services alternatively as well, but i've chose to tried on my own. I've tried once on one of well-known mitigation services out there but it seems not fully satisfied me since most of legitimate traffic is blocked from their source.
What i could do now is keep staying alive as well as will not going down on whatever situation becomes worst (but if the attack change to udp attack, i couldn't help myself coz there must be high incoming bandwidth into my network). My network is totaling 10MB last time but since this attack i've been forced to subscribe for 30MB in order to keep balance on the attack.
I've blocked all access except for my country and some other neighbours. If i change policy to allow all countries, the load of firewall will become max and after that hang will hang in less than a minute. I've done load balancing of 4 servers (8GB memory each one) and it seems the condition is getting under control with slight problem of server hang (memory shortage) and very limited keep alive connection.
Now what am i thinking is to buy a router objectively to null route incoming specific IP of countries so i can change my firewall policy to allow all connections as well as to help the firewall itself release its burden halting blocked IP that currently keep hitting itself that could might impact its performance.
Which brands of router is possible doing this thing?
Do you have some other suggestions instead of buying router?

My server is under dos attack (http) , I have installed APF firewall and ddos deflate. I configure them to work together.
now if any IP with more than 100 connections is black listed by dos deflate, I can see it in apf's deny_hosts.rules file.
everything seems correct, but my server still very slow.
the ip which is causing that has more than 1000 request and is blacklisted.

Over the past day one of my servers has seen a huge rise in incomming traffic (from normal web requests to a constant 4Mbit/s, peaking upto 80Mbit/s). My outgoing traffic has remained at its normal profile, so I am pretty sure that these are not web requests, and it does not seem to be having an adverse effect on the server (the site still runs perfectly well and quick and load is still less than 1).
However, I am unsure as to how to identify what this traffic is? Are there any easy ways to tell on a FreeBSD server what the source and type of incomming traffic is? I have tried playing with netstat, but an not getting anything useful - I would like to see which ports are involved.

The attacker is so skillful .describe the best method to defeat him. Be sides the attacker use diffirenet ips in each attack,I block him by iptables but no use…. His attack occupy all the ram and I have to resetart the server… Now this time his attack lead to shutting all the vps down

My website is under ddos attack from some competitors. I don't know yet how big is the attack. The ips of the ddos attack come from all the world.
I have contacted a few hosting companies specialised in ddos proof hosting, unfortunatly the price is so expensive that i cannot afford it.
So i try to find another solution : my website is only aimed to the french people, so maybe is it possible to install a kind of firewall or proxy located before the server to block all the incoming IP adress not from france ? Do you know some websites who can do this and the price ?
I already try do deny the non-french ip in one htaccess file but the ddos attack saturate the server anyway.

someone decided to attack my webserver and I can't figure out how to block it.
tcp 0 0 localhost:80 207.44.129.88:2138 SYN_RECV
tcp 0 0 localhost:80 207.44.129.88:2243 SYN_RECV
tcp 0 0 localhost:80 213.66.121.211:63372 SYN_RECV
It's literally thousands of those requests overloading apache. The server is fine, the load average is like .8. But none of the website are loading.
We're hosting with ThePlanet, and they're doing a great job at blocking a huge portion of the attack. But we're still getting hit pretty hard. I've got APF installed, and 3 or 4 anti-dos scripts.
Every once in a while a page will load for the websites, I think we've got just under 50 legit connections.
