RE: DOS ATTACK

[David Vincent <david.vincent () mightyoaks com>]

add a firewall (such as the wonderful kerio personal firewall -
http://www.kerio.com) and block that IP from accessing the machine.

you might have to do some digging at http://www.samspade.org to figure out
what IP blocks the big guy owns and therefore might be sources of the
attack.

Subject: DOS ATTACK


I have a friend that has a DOS Attack going on against their website.  It is
being done by someone with a very popular website trying to squash a little
guy.  He is doing it be placing 1 pixel by 1 pixel inline frames in his
webpages and having them load my friends webpage.  It is killing his server
and bandwidth.
 
What can we do to block?  The Server is W2K with IIS.
 
Thanks!
