Hi Everyone,
I'm running Fedora 4, Apache 2, MySQL 4, PHP 4.
I'm pretty mediocre when it comes to administering Apache. I run a website and I think I was the victim of a Denial of Service attack. Pinging my website would almost always time out, or I would receive one reply and the rest would time out. Other people noticed the site being down so I know it's not a connection problem on my side.
I checked the Access logs and Error logs located at /var/log/httpd/ and I'm a little confused. Half of the text is garbled (like opening a binary file) and some of it is readable. I'm not seeing a single IP listed as accessing the site repeatedly.
I guess it could have been a firewall/router issue where the server is located.
Thoughts? |

Yes you should configure your router, but that does not prevent you from DOS attack  |
