Jack Wallen walks you through some of the steps you can take to check for and mitigate distributed denial of service attacks on a Linux server.
Recently I wrote a piece on how to detect and stop a DoS attack on Linux.
I'm going to show you how you can check for and stop DDoS attacks on your Linux servers.
The good news is that once you've determined where the DDoS attack is coming from, you stop it in the same way you stopped the DoS attack.
Another issue to consider is, if those attacks are coming from subnets within your LAN, why those machines are bombarding your server with attacks.
Remember, resolving DDoS attacks isn't quite as simple as it's DoS cousin.
