Does anyone know of a good script to prevent DDOS attacks? My bf's site is getting attacked and I really need this script because the whole situation is driving me nuts.

Thanks. Appreciate any help :)

No, I don't know of any - and even if this existed it wouldn't help much at the point of the web server itself being overloaded. You need something on the server, preferably the network side.

Hmm over thanks layer0 - I will let him know :)

Does this mean that the hosting company that he is with isn't very good then? If he moved to a better hosting site with good DDOS protection than it may help a bit?

That would help a lot.

PHP is web application. It will not stop any real DDOS. The only person can help you mitigate is your DC.

I use a variety of methods and applications to mitigate DDOS, Cross Site Scripting, and other subterfuge:



DDOS Mitigation:

Hope this helps.
