I don't know if this would work, but... When a server is under DDOS attack it should redirecting each access request to a page designed to authenticate a human user. This page would have a basic layout (with a very small size): ------------------------------------------------- Site URL
The server which hosts this site is currently under DDOS attack. To protect against this, you need to be authenticated as a human being by typing the following Turing number: Turing number ______________ Type here ______________ Note that the navigation of the site will be slower than usual. ------------------------------------------------- This way, the server would know that a specific IP address is used by a human being, and thus allow it to access the original URL. The IP address is allowed access for the next hour, after which time a new Turing number is requested from the user to type. Since the attacker could try this and obtain a valid IP address to use for the attack, while the server is under attack it should monitor how fast valid IPs try to access the server. If the access is to fast (compared with the normal behavior of a human being), the server could block that IP.
