Botnets Again

Submitted by chuck1 on Tue, 2009-11-24 09:53

Some script kiddy's botnet is slamming the site again this morning. They're trying to make comments, trying to inject something, I guess. Maybe it's just a super-weak DoS attack. I don't know yet.

I think everything is pretty solid right now but I haven't looked at the server. If the site is slow or crashes, this is the reason.

I guess I should thank the attacker for helping to make me a Drupal security expert. As I suss out what you guys are doing, I am taking measures to make the site even more secure. This will allow me to release a little info product "Securing Your Drupal Site" pretty soon which will probably make a bit of money for me. Thanks!

Please contact me when you post that product - I'd be happy to read and recommend it on Cracking Drupal.

You can get in touch with me on the GVS Contact page

These attacks have taught me a lot. Right now I can't type, though.
