Hello,
I have a server that is suffering DOS attack, I used the command:
watch -n1 'attackers'
on SSH to see the attacks. It basically has an ip that makes about 380 connections, and makes the server fall in a few minutes.
I block the IP through FireWall, but it spends 30 minutes and the funny lad changes IP and does the process again.
This has been happening for 5 days, and Host's support team can not seem to give a WOW.
I put my server's sites in CloudFlare, but it still did not stop. They told me it's a DDOS Layer 7 ..
Every time I get into the media, I get a different way or need time to do something there.
Has anyone ever gone through this and wants to suggest some possible solution? I'm thinking it's changing HOST .. But if I can do something better and avoid less inconvenience.
Server is LINUX. And the company I work for is HostGator. Dedicated Pro.
