Earlier this morning, one of our servers was hit by a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack. The internal firewall (APF) we used had anti-DOS enabled in it but it wasn’t enough causing the server to slow down.
Naturally, I was asleep around that time but engineers from our Data Center quickly informed us of the situation and mitigated the attack by activating some network-level flood filtering. So far, the flood guard appears to be handling it well.
We are not still in the clear though and I hope this attack was from some random bastard who’s just fooling around. We don’t want the same thing that happened to TypePad a couple of weeks ago.
I’m still confident that our DC (ThePlanet) is able to help us get thru this.
This is one of the reasons why IT is on the top of the Ten Most Stressful Professions. Yup, it’s a whooping 97%.

I sympathize with you. A DOS attack can bring a server to its knees. Hopefully it’s under control.
