Administrator DKT27 Posted September 25, 2009 Administrator Share Posted September 25, 2009 DoS: Denial-of-Service attack. The attack done by hackers to deny any incoming-outgoing service on the target site/pc etc. By flooding their network by lot of traffic. Normally good sites may have DoS protection. DDoS: Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack. In simplest terms many hackers together doin a DoS attack. As just one person DoSing cannot get the site out of service.Well I have explained you to the most simple way I can, if you still wanna know about DoS, go here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoSYou know so far Comodo is the only firewall I have used that offers security against DoS attack. Well I haven't used many but I'm sure ESET SS, ZoneAlarm or maybe even Kaspersky and Norton may not have that ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 So what your saying is that Comodo has server protection for this kind of thing right..Several server configurations allow you to deny service to IP's that make over a certain number of request with a certain amount of time.. you can also issue a timeout period and blacklist the address.. You can also limit the number of connections per address, and requests...A server can also create child threads to better handle heavier loads.. but it ha to be used in conjunction with several other options so as not to basically overload..A front-end cache server/proxy can help act as a load balancer... and you can even redirect to other server pools/servers as well...Why I mentioned a bot network of 50,000 systems.. there are some SEVERELY large over-powered networks out there.. and it would take a gloating...Administrator, carelessness..or lack of knowledge to allow something like this happening.. but even with all of these things it can still happen..to the rest of us..LOL..You know in some cases, a network will shut down..I see this as an overall protection especially when you start to mix several elements.. and push software and systems to their limits.. why certain tests are usually run...to make sure that when it starts to come apart at the seems there still aren't any holes punched through protection.. many reasons for the use of hardware..

KotaXor Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Let me clarify something: The tips and tricks not necessary applicable for everybody.It is also dependent on the Internet speed which you have. It varies for those with slow Internet speed and for those with broadband.What works for someone might not works for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*dcs18 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Yup, those are wise words, the effect of these nice little tweaks would differ from person-to-person.BTW, I navigated to about:config to tryout these tweaks and found most of them already configured (perhaps due to TuneUp Utilities 2009 and other registry experimentations in the past.)

It varies for those with slow Internet speed and for those with broadband.What works for someone might not works for the rest.Yes this is 100% correct. If you still use dial up or other weaksauce connection you should not use pipelining or too many http connections, it will have an adverse effect.

HX1 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well you do know that they have to have the capability to even provide the service a such level...Not to mention Load Balancing.. which can.. depending on what approach is taken..cut connetion or deny over a certain number of connections to server from one IP..Ultimately it works for the browser..
