Hello all, I am dared to see what "ab" (apache benchmarking too) can do against an apache server. I have used the following against my server to check call handling ` ` ` ab -n 1000 -c 20 http://<site-name>/index.php?no_cache=1 ` ` ` and it simply bottle neck the target apache server. the target server is also over loaded with huge cpu load. Is there any precaution to prevent this ? the target system is already protected with mod_security.
A quick Google turned this up: http://www.commandlineisking.com/2009/05/rate-limiting-and-dos-protection-in-mod.html Sounds very promising.
