[TriLUG] Denial of Service Attack

[3y3 at earthlink.net]

Is your company considering legal action against the attacker(s)?

If so...

Has anyone from your company accessed anything on the compromised system?

Subject: [TriLUG] Denial of Service Attack

Hey Guys ,

I need a little help here.  I have been dealing with DoS attacks against 
my webserver all day.   And we had a hacker break in, defaced our 
website got access to CVS, didnt steal any source code but we are 
checking it nonetheless.  Luckily we caught it before he could access 
our customer database.  What are some of the things I can do to minimize 
the damage, right now we use SuSE Enterprise Linux 8 and the Apache Web 
Server.  I thought it was secure enough.  What are some practices I can 
incorporate in the future to prevent DoS attacks.  I dont think I will 
be able to make the Installfest because I have a real mess to clean up.
