(D)DoS Deflate

This simple shell script will block IPs at the firewall that are found to have too many connections under the presumption that they are part of a (D)DoS attack. The script supports auto-unblocking, email notifications, logging, a simple cron installer and reverse DNS.

Instructions

1. Clone this repo into /usr/local/ddos:

    sudo git clone git://github.com/colinmollenhour/ddos-deflate.git /usr/local/ddos
   

2. Add your IP address to the whitelist:

    vim /usr/local/ddos/ignore
   

3. Configure (D)DoS Deflate:

    vim /usr/local/ddos/ddos.conf
   

4. Add the cron job (optional)

    /usr/local/ddos/ddos.sh --cron
