DDoS Protection
Alright, so DDoS works by attacking the server with requests which then overloads and fails (to put it basically). Now, this could be stopped (especially the idiots who use 300+ botnets) by creating a simple IP restriction.
How it would work:
A simple script that bans any IP that requests too much in X seconds.
IP1 is the botnet, and it's sending 300-400 requests per second for example. Now a script could be created that basically works by only allowing X requests per X time limit. If any IP address overloads that limit, the IP is banned (and maybe an e-mail notification or something?).
I was wondering if someone could create this, it sure as hell would help a lot of members secure their vBulletin servers.
