can we have a DNP firewall plugin like the vbulletin to reduce the ddos?
Let's see what this does:
Quote: 1. Deny unwanted Bots
2. Reduce Spamming
3. Block Flooding Attack
4. Partially weaken DoS
5. Prevent automated malicious scripts pass through

Most of those really should be implemented at a server level, not a script level (which is somewhat useless to an extent, since an attack would have already caused your server to do so much work).
For spamming, there's an anti-spam plugin, including Akismet, I believe.

You really can't do much about (D)DoS attacks on a script level, especially those that don't even target the application layer.
Yumi is right. Though i suggest TimB. Stopforumspam.org plugin, for spam. http://community.mybboard.net/thread-63764.html


It helps 1 and 2.3 a little, though if someone is flooding your site, all you can do is block their IP. Same with DDOS. 5, You only can secure so much.
