hey guys, if any of you are sys admins and have experiance with this I would appreciate it:
I run a website on a small personal machine, which allows me to have a blog and do podcasting and streaming audio.
The website I host is highly critical of a comapny in Japan that recruits in the UK, US, and Australia. (if any of you are thinking of working for NOVA in Japan....don't do it!)
anyways, yesturday, my server (whch is behind a router and firewall that only has port 80 forwarded to the server) had multiple conecitons sweeping the ports, over 200KB/s of activity which was maxing out my conneciton completely....kind of like a DOS attack....not sure....by my Hard drive was going like crazy, never heard anything like that.
There are "for-profit" recruiters for this company in Australia (which is where the attack's IP originates from" and I'm sure they don't like my site at all, so I feel it's likely they put someone up to this.
I have sent the ISP an email and now I have a secondary software firewall running but I am not sure that is enough
any advice on how I proceed from here? I want to
a) protect my server and keep my 'anti-japanese company in Japan that exploits americans" website up.
b) find out who these Moe-Foes are and take legal action against them if possible
thanks guys
