CTR-F5 problems
Ok Before I start here are the specs.
RedHat 9.0
Apache 2.2.0
PHP 5.1.2
I have written a very simple program in PHP which reads 20 records from an MySQL (5.0.18) database and prints it on the screen 5 times. So we get 100 lines of text.
Now I run in once and everyting is fine.
When I decided to give it a test, I pressed CTRL-F5 and kept it down for about 30-50 seconds.
As I kept watching the resources, my memory got full up, my virtual memory got full up, the processor was at max and a few seconds later the httpd dies and the server had to be rebooted.
Now this is not a huge hacking attempt, yet it broke the server.
I have mod_evasive and mod_security installed with their default settings, I have APF installed WITH ad turned on.
Why aren't any of these buggers stopping this really stupid hack attempt?
Any help appreciated.
