we count an "attack" as an IP attempting to hit the network at a rate of 50 times or more in a 60-second period for 3 or more minutes in a day. there's many different types of DDOS attacks, and they get more creative all the time, but that definition is pretty inclusive to what i see every day. the DDOS report on Saturday says 32k IPs and a total hit/attack count of 2,138,242..
our security system monitors the entire network: each server is scanned individually and then a central server reads all the server reports. bans are active network-wide within 2-3 minutes. the security system has a lot of rules and other scripts - such as network-wide bandwidth and usage reports. it was developed specifically to secure PornCMS sites. we don't host anything else.
overall attacks are lower lately. maybe a lot of the Chinese hackers are on sick leave..
