Two days ago some body attacked my server with bots, and i was online but i have not seen any kind of bot connecting to my server.
Two min. later the server was down, and i couldent even login in to my shell.
Than i've send an email to my rooter and asked him for help, and he sent me back a email:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
your server is under attack, over 200,000 attemps to connect have been
made by a series of attack bots.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that i don't have 200,000 users. I even don't have 2000.
So the question is: Is there any trick to stop tham with the spamfilter, or is there any module special for connects. Like setting a limit of connects for a severel time with a mode. Example 20 connects in 10 sec. and the rest to disconnect or zline tham automa...
Plz let me know Thx
