My game server has just recovered from a DDoS attack which started a little over 2 days ago, ‘the peak of the attack was over 500mbps’ and ‘it came from thousands of spoofed sources’.
The quotes are from my server hosts. They said they can only block my server IP until the attack has stopped (which they did) but cannot offer any protection without having to charge £5-25k a month.
The attack was obviously well organised im just wondering if anyone can offer me any information about how this can be done on such a scale, especially to a small timer like me.
What are my choices on preventing/locating these sorts of attacks?
