Threatened for DDoS Attack

[Trader]

Hello OTLand,

Well today is the dreaded day. The day that person logs in your OT and threatens to take your server down via DDoS attack.

I am here to request for some help. How can I protect myself from people like this? He was able to track my IP and my location and also take down my website. Is this proof of his ability to DDoS attack me?

I'm not sure if he's bluffing or not, but after he took the website down, I am pretty convinced that he can DDoS. Any suggestions/help?

Thank you very much

Let me guess, you're using Gesior? I think you might want to search OtLand for repairs/fixes or switch to Modern AAC.

If you are using Linux, I would suggest iptables. :\ (but I don't know if that can block it, sorry) :X

 

[Trader]

I am using ModernAAC and Windows..

Its old and for Nicaw, but don't care about that, just look what I do, and follow my style on Modern AAC

apache?

Helps reducing apache/nginx/lighttpd traffic and reducing strongly the effectiveness of a web leeching DoS/DDoS (It can be used as both, all depends on the evil guys possibilities).

There are better alternatives that I am not known with, but this will also help you on daily basis as an OT hoster against spikes and more reserved bandwidth for the OT server

You can make sure to only feed the used ports with upload traffic, (80 25KB/sec), 7171 (1KB/sec) 7172 (5KB/sec) to each peer.
<Not sure here, though, but I believe there are tools for everything>.

Limit connections per IP.

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 80 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset (20 on port 80)
iptables -A INPUT -m connlimit --connlimit-above 50 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset (overall no more then 50 connections)

hes using windows...

How do I limit IP connections for Windows? That seems like the easiest way,

Windows XP SP2 TCP Connection Limit (Event ID 4226) ? My Digital Life
Windows Vista tcpip.sys Connection Limit Patch for Event ID 4226 ? My Digital Life

So bottom line, what's the best, mot efficient way of protecting from DDoS attacks?

@ Trader
can't you trace his IP and block all kinds of connections from him?

Doesn't know anything about Dos/DDoS attacks

There is no cheap way to be completely protected from DoS attacks, there is some things you can do..hardening your tcp/ip stack is a great way to limit DoS attacks..google it. Along with the previous mentioned suggestions that stian posted.
