I'm tired of seeing program after program go down by supposed DDOS attacks (distributed denial of service) so I thought I'd write a little suggestion post on how to get around that.

1) Get a server from http://www.ev1servers.net

------ EV1 already has measures in place to prevent DDOS and if the measures don't work, they won't charge you for the bandwith.

2) Put up a firewall.

----- I used APF on mine.

3) Watch firewall logs.

----- If you see in your logs where theres a rash of the same ips trying to get into your server, issue this command and they won't bother you anymore:
iptables -D INPUT -s the.ip.address.here -j DROP

4) Use an SSL certificate

----The encryption is a necessary step plus if the attacker is using an automatic attack system, the certificate acts as a gateway to stopping them from getting in.


If you need help on locking down your server(s), just let me know.

absolutely free tip...
only one company could 100% stop DDOS attacks
and they are not serving HYIPs.

For which company you are talking about ?

prolexic of course

Are you sure they don't accept hyips and autosurf ?

Prolexic accepts Autosurf at least I know.

At last some useful information, should be more of it. To be informed is to be in form.

I don't too care about site feature because Site Feature can't guaranteed the site can live longer or not...
SSL is not too important
DDOS attack is important
Dedicated Host is important only if admin use automatic payment
Firewall i think it implemented on all hosting

thanks for the info badmouse, i'm going to sell computers and a good website is a key, not mention a good hosting too

It's true.

DDOS Protection is the most important.
After that dedicated server.
Firewall and SSL are good too.

However, it's not the only one reliable hosting online
With others points i agree. Investment and security goes together.

in one programers forum I rememmber reading about some kind of software created by hackers, which use that same security hole (which allowed first hacker to install spyware) and delete that spyware from most involved computers, so efectively destroying all zomby network.

someone know, does that software is real or is it just rumour?

They aren't a host. They are a leased server company. I've had many servers there and their DDOS protection is unsurpassed.

can I try them for one week?

do they have demo I can attack as test.

i heared many positive feedbacks about katz . I think it`s a serious option

I must thank you for providing us all with these valuable tips, although a few members will challenge you on some of it. But, I believe this is very helpful.

As for the Admins claiming that they are victims of DDOS and/or hacking, or are blaming the closing of their programs on these issues, how can you tell they are being thuthful?

Would'nt a Pro know ??


Lol

Admins are so damn cheap. Im on a private DDOS protected dedicated server and I don't even run a scam.

[edit]removed[/edit]

was CompactSurf and 12DP ??

Pro again i think not

DOn't be bad girl ! or you want to attack some scam ???

What is the name for the Host of your dedicated server?

every day I spent one hour to put down many adult sites that show sex with little boys and girls.

there is no need to put down scams, because they born to HIT and RUN.

they shut down after days or weeks.
