I've seen these "guest attacks" too - sometimes 500-600 of them on a forum with rarely 35 concurrent users. AFAIK nobody has figured out what's causing it. Maybe some errant bot software.

Go to Cpanel immediately after site is back to normal. Check the Latest visitors IP ranges and bytes usage. Figure out the IP location. If you can see most of the IPs are from same country. Block that country ranges. I hope it will work fine.

Yes, by all means if it's that easy then do that. In our case, the guests were from all over - there was no pattern at all to their IP numbers. And they were all doing different things on the forum.

I've had this bot crawl also, every bot appears to be viewing an attachment. I guess it's a bot net trying to exploit forums via attachments. I guess it crawls the net. The largest number I had was 200, it starts high and dies off after an hour or so. It takes around 24 hours for the entire botnet to clear the server. I've had the same botnet appear back on the forum multiple times in smaller numbers. Everytime they were doing to the same activity of viewing attachments. Fortunately I haven't seen them for a few weeks and they never disrupted my server whilst they visited.

If your interested all the IPs were dynamic "dynamic.saudi.net" with alternating IP addresses once resolved. Nothing much I could do but ignore them at the time.

Yeah I have been running into this as well. It never gets over 100-150 Guests though so I have to wonder if it is the same problem exactly.

Has anyone tried the .htaccess solution from the user above?

Thanks!

Global forums can't block entire countries. And nobody wants to block dynamic 'pool' IPs which could be used by legitimate people tomorrow.

Ours is a local forum, so we've got entire swaths of the planet blocked - like most of Africa and the far east. But as I said, that's not effective against this latest phenomena which seem to come from all over. Oh and no, ours weren't all looking at attachments - they were all doing different things.

But I agree it seems to have slowed down because I haven't seen any of the really huge server-killing attacks for a couple months. Recently they seem to top out at 200 or so, which is still annoying because I have to reset the "most online" counter manually.
