Easy DDOS Prevention

[Rustayy]

Ok, this is an easy way for the website to prevent Dos attacks. I should have said something about it earlier, but never got around to do it. If you haven't learned what a DDOS attack is, this is a simple definition taken directly from Wikipedia; In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users. So basically when this happens to us:

It is. But this time its something else. Im being DDoS'd by someone right now and all the server resources are being used up by cached ksoftirwd possesses..

I do not believe it will effect the server with DDOS, but I'm positive it will help the website. My solution is CloudFlare. It is free and it prevents Dos attacks on the websites it protects. Here is the link to the website: https://www.cloudflare.com/ . If you would like to learn more about Dos attacks, watch this video. I just saw it, and learned a lot about dos attacks.

Also, peanutbrick showed me this new plugin that will soon be updated, and this will prevent server DDOS attacks: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/spamicide/

Basically, yea. Did you watch the video? I know it's long, but it helps a lot with understanding.

Nah I know what ddos is but I was wondering if you meant attacks on the site or server

 

[Rustayy]

Well the plugin thats in development should help the server, but CloudFlare should help the site

if it is free and has a good reputation i think it would be great.

u also can use a dos-deflate script for the webserver. read something about that in a computermagazine.

Sounds great! dunno what that means though.. xD

a dos-deflate script is a programmed rule in the firewall that says that only a few connection requests per second can be let trought.
