[ARCHIVED] Mini DDOS Attack

[RAF]

Rune Gear was just attacked by a mini DDOS attack, this was handled in under 3 minutes.

I'd like to thank the attackers for some extra traffic, it's appreciated.

You're welcome. It wasn't a DDoS attack, I was testing an SEO tool I'm working on. I don't think 300 visitors would crash a forums on a VPS ....

Well isn't that still an offence?

When 200-300 visitors access a forum simultaneously, no matter what the intention is, it's still classified as a DDOS.

The VPS handled the attack extremely well, it had no lag nor downtime and it was stopped within 3 minutes.

No, it's not a DDoS.. DDoS is the fact of flooding your server. The actual aim of my SEO tool is not too flood the server, otherwise it wouldn't be worth using. Nothing to do with DDoS, and it was not an "attack"...

By analyzing my recent logs in the control panel, I had noticed a bruteforce attack on my cPanel at the same time when your "SEO tool" was initialized on my forum, by quite a large number of bots. Good try though.

Oh I see. But the visitors did navigate on the forums, to pretend real traffic. They are not programmed to enter any password or click any links though.

So they might have visited your login page, but did not enter any data or clicked any button.

I won't discuss this anymore for security purposes.
