There is a massive flood on PHP causing the server to go unresponsive, in a big way, I am ahving to stop PHP to even check logs and start blocks.
 
PHP has been working again for a while a long time now, I typed up this update and forgot to submit! It was only disabled for about 5 minutes.
 
ok and bots back, at the moment I've learned they are itting on existing pages on a couple domains with custom error handlers setup, this makes php, or asp go into a processing loop of sorts making a bombardment of error page processing to cause a major slowdown.
 
Just as I got a bunch of the requested pages blocked they shift to requesting image. for now, custom 404 handlers for domains being attacked are being disabled.
 
For the moment we have stopped the site that was being slammed so badly as it was just not allowing other clients sites to work at all.​
 
This battle is getting the best of me at the moment I feel like pulling hair out!

We are already working on some long term solutions to protect against such crazy attacks and botnets, but it is not ready to deploy production systems now.
