DDOS Attack Advisory

For the past several days, this blog has been a target of a DDOS attack (Distributed Denial-of-Service) which put the site to a crawl.


According to our data center, the DDOS attack was targeted to this domain alone (not the main server IP) so this is obviously a targeted attack at us. We don’t have any idea to the attacker but we have tried a lot of ways to mitigate this.

As a result, you may have experienced the site to load very slowly or completely unviewable.

To those who still cannot access the blog at the moment, I suggest subscribing to the RSS Email blast here (it’s hosted separately by Feedburner and is not affected by the attack).

  1. I don’t see any reason why would somebody will try to attack this blog? Any secret plan in taking over the web? :)

  2. minsan ayaw mag load ng pages kahit ok naman yung connection ng internet ko… yun pala may DDOS attack

  3. Same attack used by hackers in Twitter and Facebook few years ago.

  4. firewall, if its dynamic ip, either you have a mitigation service which can block traffic that looks malicious at your provider, or well you try to just handle the traffic. If you run apache its really hard to handle, better if you use NGINX since it can handle tons of connections easily.

    Here’s a script I use which blocks ips with more than 200 connections using iptables. You can run that one a cronjob :) It might work

    /bin/netstat -npa –inet | /bin/grep :80 | /bin/sed ‘s/:/ /g’ | /bin/awk ‘{print $6}’ | /bin/sort | /usr/bin/uniq -c | /bin/sort -n | while read line; do one=`echo $line | /bin/awk ‘{print $1}’`; two=`echo $line | /bin/awk ‘{print $2}’`; if [ $one -gt 200 ]; then /sbin/iptables -I INPUT -s $two -j DROP; fi; done; /sbin/iptables-save | /bin/grep -P ‘^-A INPUT’ | /bin/sort | /usr/bin/uniq -c | /bin/sort -n | while read line; do oneIp=`echo $line | /bin/awk ‘{print $1}’`; twoIp=`echo $line | /bin/awk ‘{print $5}’`; if [ $oneIp -gt 1 ]; then /sbin/iptables -D INPUT -s $twoIp -j DROP; echo $twoIp; fi; done

  5. @abeolandres whoever did it obviously has hidden agenda. Or sobrang naiinggit lang talaga sayo. You’re Philippines’ TechMan after all,

  6. hmm, that’s why I can’t access this site a few days ago. I thought you’re doing a site maintenance.
    Well I guess, you’re site is really famous now – that’s why they’re doing it!

  7. i thought it was just my DNS configuration on my router…but so far it’s fine…

    inggit lang yan…

  8. Kya pala this past few days when i tried to access this blogs its always display’s n0t found or unable to connect using my pc and m0bileph0nes
    s0mebody might want to rule your blog sir abe…
    Because of your blogs popularity
    Mga walang magawa,hehehe mga inggit lang sila sir abe !
    M0re power to you yugatech blog!

  9. I myself thought the site’s bandwidth was being congested. Guess your site can be defaced if the hacker means business.

  10. My site was DDoS on and off for 3 weeks,
    it killed my business !!!

    Somebody has to do something about these DDoS
    attacks

    I eventually had to subscribe to a DDoS protection service called dosarrest, great service and have had no problems since.
