SlowLoris attack?

development

The last day or so my CPU and Memory have been going nuts (currently on the 4gb plan) cpu is going upwards of 350%, keep hittign maxclients with google reporting 9 active users?!?!

Someone pointed out to me this might be a Slowlaris attack? netstat -n | grep :80 reports more then 400 requests anyone know how to stop / fix this issue?

I would take a look at the tips here: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/smb-te … n-attacks/">http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/smb-technologist/secure-your-apache-server-from-ddos-slowloris-and-dns-injection-attacks/

If it's a single incoming IP address (likely if it is a slowloris attack), I would block it.
