We have been DOS attacked from a particular IP in Northern Africa. Thank GOD for good firewalls. The Firewall was fine but the server almost crashed.
I have added the rule to the firewall to deny this IP from hitting our server ever again.
Additionally I'm looking at how I can use the new firewall to auto-deny IP's PERMANENTLY in the future based on the amount of times it hits the server so it does it automatically so it will be PROACTIVE VS being reactive now. (Again, thank GOD for my good monitoring system)
Thanks!
