According to SANS, the first Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack was in 1999, more than 20 years ago. Since then, DDOS attacks have become bigger and more frequent. Today, a DDOS mitigation strategy is an essential part of any high-profile site’s hosting strategy. These attacks often occur frequently in the gaming community and with any site hosting anything remotely controversial.

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
