How To Stoping Dos and DDos Tutorial

Officially I don't think you can stop the attacks but you can make your server feel less or no blow at all.

Dos & DDos - A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users.

You want to make yourself less vulnerable to these attacks. They attack your server by flooding their victims computer with traffic. The attackers use of thousands/hundreds of machines to attack one server

Stopping this is extremely complicated. So I'll just tell you how to make yourself more safe against these ever day attacks. Having open ports just makes it easier on the Doser themselves. Keep ports you dont need Closed.

FireWalls

Having a regular firewall can stop hackers but a plain firewall can not protect you against a strong Dos. A firewall was intrusion measures that can kick bad traffic out and still allow normal traffic in. This can help with some of the attack parts which wont get on your system.
