Syn Flood
May 11, 2009I've been getting a syn flood for the last week or so.
I've pretty much tried everything I could online but have been unsuccessful in stopping them.
I talked to the data center techs and they basically can't put a stop to it either.
Here's a very small portion of my netstat
tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 86.50.121.144:8540 SYN_RECV -
tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 41.100.16.152:7824 SYN_RECV -

tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80 103.5.8.249:4782 SYN_RECV -
root@xxx [/]# netstat -nap |grep SYN |wc -l
2008
The IP's change often and it's not possible to narrow it down.
So far the things I have done;
syn cookies enabled
reduced time out
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_recv
increased
echo "150000" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max
installed apf but it slowed down the server to a crawl which made my clients really unhappy so had to remove it.
The bandwidth is constantly staying at 30Mbps with slight bumps here and there but every day around 7pm it drops completely to normal levels and the flood stops. It starts back up around 7 in the morning.
SYN Flood Attack
Jul 28, 2009We are currently experiencing an SYN Flood attack on our primary production server and are looking for some help in resolving the issue.
Running:
Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.2-64
SuperMicro X7DBR-E Intel Xeon QuadCore DualProc SATA [2Proc]
Processor Intel Xeon-Clovertown 5320L-QuadCore [1.86GHz]
8GB Memory
@ Softlayer DC in Texas.
Need help within the next hour or two. Please ask any necessary follow up questions and how you might go about resolving the issue (i.e. SYN Cookies, etc.)
SYN Flood Attack
May 3, 2009someone 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.
How Can I Best Work With A Syn Flood?
Jun 11, 2008How can I best work with a syn flood? I've tried the apf, deflate-ddos etc.... and don't work. Even tried litespeed etc but doesn't work against a 90mbps attack.
If I get a few servers, how would I have it setup to best defend?

UDP Flood And Bandwidth
Apr 4, 2008We got hit with a huge bandwidth bill for last month. It was 4X our usual bill. The ISP said that we were the victim of UDP flood attacks from an outside server. We have a sonicwall router and the firewall seems to be blocking the port that the ISP claims the attacks can from. Is it possible that the attacks would still count towards our bandwidth usage even if the connection is refused by our firewall? Our ISP uses 95th percentile billing.

Oct 30, 2007One of the servers have 1 account on, but seems like its extremely attacked. I cannot SSH and many packet loss. so I asked softlayer and they access it and said its a SYN Flood as from the /var/log/messages (I cannot see it as the server is not accessable) they put the main public ip under Cisco guard but still didn't help. when I asked for any solution, unfortunaly I were told there isn't and have to wait the attackers to stop as it comes from MANY addresses that iptables even won't help.
Isn't there any solution (software-hardware) to stop that ?

Robots Flood My Server
Jul 26, 2009I use Outpost Firewall to view active connections to my server. If I don't restart the httpd service on a regular basis my server will grind to a halt from being flooded by robots.
I currently have the service set up to restart at Midnight and Noon every day. Sometimes that's enough, lately it's not. For example, I checked an hour ago and I had 385 connections to httpd. At least 50% of the connections were robots - tons of the same IP addresses and they're just crawling the site.
Almost all of the connections show up as less than 1kb bytes received and 0 bytes sent per connection.
I already have a good 20 connections by these robots and the connection time shows as 11 minutes... I just browsed to a web gallery page on my site figuring that'd be mildly "intensive" on connections with all the thumbnails and my connections aren't lasting more than one minute.
So, what's with all these connections that are lasting 10+ minutes? I've even got one connection that has an Uptime of 30 minutes, bytes sent 65811, bytes received 180. It seems like something with these robots doesn't terminate correctly...
what to do so these connections quit jamming my server up? It's like a very very slow DOS...

Apache :: Flood Of 302s After Redirect
Jun 5, 2015I serve large professional documents, and sometimes links to them end up on social media. No big deal, but I think people clicking on them from tose social media sites don't have a clue. They think they're being directed to small page, when in fact they are downloading megabytes of pdf -- myfile.pdf. So what I've started to do is to redirect requests from social media to an archive page, where they can see specifically what document they are trying to get, and recognize its size before they ask for it. No problem, right? I just do

Sep 24, 2009so 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.

DDoS Protection Or Not
Apr 24, 2008Is 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.

Hotlink Protection Allow Myself
Aug 15, 2007Is 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.

Apr 6, 2007wanting 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.
Plesk And Hotlink Protection
Sep 27, 2007I 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
