DDOS tool - mod_dosevasive
I havent installed as I dont know where and how, but I was wondering if anyone has used this and if so what are your comments?
If anyone wants to install I copied the install file and the url of the file
I think a combination of
BFD
APF
might work well with the tool
WHAT IS THIS TOOL USEFUL FOR?
This tool is *excellent* at fending off small to medium-sized request-based
DoS attacks or script attacks and brute force attacks. Its features will
prevent you from wasting bandwidth or having a few thousand CGI scripts
running as a result of an attack. When used in conjunction with other
preventative measures such as router blackholing, this tool is very
effective against larger DDoS attacks as well.
If you do not have an infrastructure capable of fending off any other types
of DoS attacks, chances are this tool will only help you to the point of
your total bandwidth or server capacity for sending 403's. Without a solid
infrastructure and DoS evasion plan in place, a heavy distributed DoS will most
likely still take you offline.
