Squirrelmail as HS under DDOS attack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi list! We run this service: https://ruggedinbox.com
and are using squirrelmail (and roundcube) as the webmail
published on both clearnet and darknet (as a Tor Hidden Service).

Since yesterday we are getting a lot of requests to the file: 
src/redirect.php,
so many that they distrupt the service under Tor and give problems to 
the web server (lighttpd).

Currently we have disabled squirrelmail, redirect.php requests are still 
coming but they get a 404 file not found error
and services are up again.

The attack is targeting the HS, so we are getting traffic from Tor, 
which is impossible to discriminate and filter (all requests looks like 
they are coming from 127.0.0.1).

That said .. do you have any suggestions ?
What is the file redirect.php responsible for ?


Thanks for supporting!
RuggedInbox team
