Hi Justin, Good point, not a DDOS at all, just a DOS. Yes, the packets were dropped, I guess the only potential protection is upstream. If i do shorewall-drop (ip) , the packets will still hit the interface, but does it still appear in the logs ? Actually, looks like they are dropped silent

Hi, My child was playing fortnite last night when another kid in the lobby threatened to DDOS him, I was skeptical but it turns out he could. I guess there is software available to show the IP address of who is in the same lobby. 98.139.130.248 DST=203.217.21.161 LEN=468 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 T

I know someone who for the past 4 days has been having the heck ddosed out of him. He runs a gaming server, and ran a report on the ddos; he has 8 pages of that and a few hours ago there were 16 pages. They're attacking his machine on random ports and he blocks UDP traffic on those ports, bu
