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 ...
