Best way to stop DDOS?

[Kevin]

Turn off the server :angry:

Ok, now its your turn

[olajideolaolorun]

Block all possible other unused open ports?

Run a type of a firewall for the open ports...?

[Kevin]

If u block port 80 then how do they access yr website? :angry: Firewall? Which firewall is good for linux?

[olajideolaolorun]

block all unused open ports....

i am sure their are good firewalls for linux.. :angry:

[Kevin]

But they only attack port 80 :angry:

[olajideolaolorun]

There things you can use .. i believe ... :angry:

[MrX]

Just use iptables (should work on Linux but I recomend the BSDs)

A router would be good IMHO

Lastly, just don't start an arguement with those Script Kiddies :angry:

Never heard of iptables....

 

But the router is also a good way but what use is it when port 80 is open and being refered to a pc on the router...? It is stil the same as an open port 80 linked to the net without a router..

@ olajideolaolorun, iptables (Aka NetFilter) is the Packet filtering sub-system in the Linux Kernel .

[olajideolaolorun]

Yes, but as you said, its for Linux and i don't know if it available for Win also..

I run a SPI hardware firewall and Windows firewall. Gotta keep the hackers out!

[olajideolaolorun]

You need SP2!
