Hi,
I have been having some huge server problems, and I am looking for someone who can help me with my issues.
Recently my server had a DoS attack (this is what my server support people told me). I have been asking for their help since yesterday, but they are taking too long to even reply.
I need to bring my server back online as soon as possible.
I am not a big technical guy...and I need help. I have a Dedicated Server. This is what I was told so far:
---------------
A DoS attack is when someone floods the server with a great number of TCP requests. You can ban IPs which are used by hackers for the atack. So, you need to setup firewall rules and deny access from these IPs. You can get a full list of IPs with the following commands:
service httpd start
netstat -n
service httpd stop
You may use iptables utility. for more information read \"man iptables\".
---------------
Now, I don't know where to go from here. I need help now.
I request you to bid only if you think you can help me NOW. I will be online for another 2 hours.
Thank you.
This bid is for immediate assistance, and covers ONLY the restoration of services. Please refer to my post on the project message board for more information.
