Someone is attempting to hack into my forum

Anyways, Brianman is a humorless [Language] who felt like banning me. I'm trying to get Slowloris to work, but it's written in Perl (*gag*). If there's an option to change the HTTP header message, I'll be sure to set it to "Your extra-large Dead [Language] has arrived. That will be $5."

Just for you guys.

Slowloris is fantastic because as long as the attacking machine is still kicking, it will be holding sockets from valid users. My server can whore about 300 sockets before it runs out of memory. The defending server will put up a fight, but Slowloris will slowly and surely win.

HTTP headers are the head part of an HTTP packet. When Slowloris is stopped, it sends as many 200 OK headers as sockets it has absorbed.

Read this topic before anything happens: https://help.forumotion.com/t75418-my-forum-was-hacked (That's if something happens, you'll know what to do).

Well make it so you members have to log in to post and guests can not post at any time
If this guys making accounts make sure you ban the Email address aswell as IP and username


The member / Guest can not enter our servers to hack your Forum and if he / she Don't have your Admin Account info then he /she can not do anything bad to your site.
As you know we don't even have the rights to the servers so how can they ?


If he she has a rolling IP address (proxy server) then you should not find the host there running from so you can not report them to there ISP but if there Host comes up ban the ip Host for 24hrs ok this may block other members but it will stop him / her

Also, anyone who says they "will hack you" is someone who is trying to scare the daylights out of you, they probably wont even attempt to, stress less...it's bad for you. Seriously.

I'm not sure if it came first or after
