Prevent DDoS in Apache & IP Block Automation DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are a type of cyberattack that can cause serious damage to your web server. These attacks involve flooding your server with a huge volume of traffic, overwhelming its resources and causing it to crash. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to prevent DDoS attacks in Apache, without using any third part tool/application.     Available Options to Prevent DDoS : You can use various mentioned methods to achieve the same. But using WAF, CDN, etc will cost extra dollars. Which might not be necessary for a small scale application.   Use a Web Application Firewall (WAF): A WAF can help detect and block malicious traffic before it reaches your Apache server. It can also help block common attack vectors, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). Install mod_evasive: mod_evasive is an Apache module that helps detect and block DDoS attac...

Prevent Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks : AEM  A denial of service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. You can get more information on DDoS prevention in Apache At the dispatcher level, there are two methods of configuring to prevent DoS attacks: Use the mod_rewrite module (for example,  Apache 2.4 ) to perform URL validations (if the URL pattern rules are not too complex). Prevent the dispatcher from caching URLs with spurious extensions by using  filters .  For example, change the caching rules to limit caching to the expected mime types, such as .html .jpeg .gif .swf .js .doc .pdf .ppt .... as per your project requirement. An example configuration file is given below,  for  this includes restrictions for mime types.      When configuring Dispatcher you should restrict external access as much as possible. The      following example provides example for the minimal access ...
