[QUOTE="JayC, post: 314426, member: 36373"] Sorry you don't believe this is the best tutorial. I also found this to help secure your Apache: There is an Apache module that was created to prevent a DDoS attack, although it's probably not installed by default. Follow these steps to install the module. 1. Open your terminal window. 2. Issue the command [I]sudo apt-get -y install libapache2-mod-evasive[/I]. 3. Issue the command [I]sudo mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/evasive[/I]. 4. Issue the command [I]sudo chown -R www-data:root /var/log/apache2/evasive[/I]. 5. Open the /etc/apache2/mods-available/mod-evasive.load file (using sudo and your favorite text editor) and append the following to the bottom of that file (this is one configuration per line): DOSHashTableSize 2048 DOSPageCount 20 # maximum number of requests for the same page DOSSiteCount 300 # total number of requests for any object by the same client IP on the same listener DOSPageInterval 1.0 # interval for the page count threshold DOSSiteInterval 1.0 # interval for the site count threshold DOSBlockingPeriod 10.0 # time that a client IP will be blocked for DOSLogDir “/var/log/apache2/evasive” DOSEmailNotify [email]admin@domain.com[/email] 6. Save the file and restart Apache. You should now be better protected from DDoS attacks. [/QUOTE]
