Go CFML go!

As you all know there are not only "good" people on the net. Luckily we have some of these "bad" guys who are trying to create some extra loads on our servers to help our load testing process. :)

We know these kind of DoS (Denial-of-service attack) attacks already with some old experiences. There were some known solutions for some known types of these attacks. But starting from yesterday we have an interesting one which is known as Layer 7 DoS attack and we have some tough times now.

Here are some extra information about this type of attacks directly from one of the best load balancer tool F5 guys.

Layer 4 vs Layer 7 DoS Attack

Luckily we have a great hosting provider who helped to resolve the most of the issues and our sites are running again after some hours down period. I would like to thank to Edge Web Hosting and their great support team here again for their amazing work!

We would be very happy to hear also your experiences with these kind of DoS attacks. :)

Now it is the time to consider handling more loads on the servers with more sophisticated solutions ...

I have updated our ColdFusion 8 development and staging servers with JDK 1.6.0_13 and everthing looks ok.

We are going to have our next meeting at this Wednesday at OCDev.

The topic is Sava CMS which is one of the popular CMS (Content Management System) solutions in ColdFusion world.

You can get the default installation version as Sava Standard or Railo embedded Sava Express version which runs directly out of the box.

The other good stuff is that Sava CMS is an open source project and you can use it base on GPL 2 license.

If you have not tried Sava CMS, I definitely would suggest checking it out on http://gosava.com.

If you have interested the topic, you are welcome to our OCDev meeting and you can get details on our OCDev website http://ocdev.org.

See you ...
