Hello Greetings,
I have a dedicated server with HostGator, and run a fairly large website on it. The issue that I'm having is that little kids with a DoS programs have the ability to take down my website from one IP with 300+ connections. For some reason the firewall doesn't pick it up, and I have to enter the IP in the "/etc/firewall/IPDROP_GLOBAL" file, and reboot the firewall. After that, it takes about 3-4 minutes for the site to come back up.
Is this something that would normally happen on any host? Is there anything I can do to prevent such little attacks?
This how I find out how many connections are on my server:
Code:
netstat -anp |grep 'tcp\|udp' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -nServer specs:
Code:
Intel Xeon 3110 (Dual Core) 4 GB DDR2 Memory 2 X 250 GB Hard Drive 1,500 GB Bandwidth 13 Dedicated IPs
Thanks,

you can try csf firewall depending on the type of attack your geting,you may also want to consider switching to a provider like gigenet that offers a dos protection service
determination to stop these attacks we came across UnTangle. UnTangle is a firewall which filters and monitors all the traffic coming into you're server,so you should install and configure a firewall such as csf
