Website Under DDoS Attack? 5-Step Emergency Recovery Sequence
When a website is being hit by DDoS or CC attacks, quick recovery depends on the right sequence: first identify the attack layer, isolate the origin server (change IP if necessary), switch DNS to a mitigation node, suppress application-layer traffic at the edge, and finally clean up lingering connections.
DDoS Attack Log Analysis and Traceback Methods: Layered Forensics and Response When Bandwidth Is Saturated
When a server's bandwidth is saturated or CPU is maxed out, this article provides a layered log-based forensics method to classify the attack type by analyzing inbound traffic characteristics, L4 connection states, and L7 access records, and map them to actionable response actions.
How to Determine if It's a Slowloris CC Attack: Don't Just Check access.log
When server response slows down with connection buildup but low bandwidth and QPS, slowloris CC attacks often hide from access.log. This article provides troubleshooting steps starting from connection state, using ss commands, worker usage, and FD curves to locate connection exhaustion, along with layered mitigation strategies for origin limiting and edge buffering.
