  • I got tired of iptables crashing my server during HTTP floods, so I built an eBPF/XDP firewall in Rust with zero CPU overhead 🦀
    by /u/ArtisticDoughnut2016 on April 15, 2026 at 9:38 pm

    Hey everyone! Whenever my small VPS was hit by L7 HTTP botnets or simple DDoS attacks, traditional tools like Fail2ban + iptables would actually make things worse. The sheer overhead of the Linux kernel allocating sk_buff memory for 100,000 packets per second created an Interrupt Storm that crashed my databases and locked me out of SSH. So, I spent some time building CrabShield — a hybrid firewall written entirely in Rust. How it works: It uses an asynchronous Tokio daemon in user-space to instantly analyze Nginx/Traefik logs (detecting 404 floods, brute-forcers, scrappers). But instead of adding iptables rules, it dynamically updates an eBPF BPF-map. The actual penalty (XDP_DROP) happens natively at the Network Interface Card (NIC) driver level. The result? The malicious packets are dropped before the heavy Linux TCP/IP stack even knows they exist. The CPU stays under 5%, and Nginx never wakes up. I just open-sourced it, put together proper documentation on it, and added cross-compilation support so you can just drop a static binary on your Linux box (x86_64 or ARM) and be protected. Check out the repo and the architecture here: https://github.com/aleksgrim/crab-shield Would love to hear your feedback, issues, or code-review if anyone is into eBPF! submitted by /u/ArtisticDoughnut2016 [link] [comments]

  • Squarespace to Hoststinger + Google Suite Fiasco
    by /u/rebe626 on April 14, 2026 at 7:18 pm

    Soo – I am helping switch my friend’s website from Squarespace to WordPress + hostinger. Thought I had everything under control till her gmail stopped working… Apparently she has that thru squarespace too!! Now, the site is in limbo and the gmail is not working… I cant get the auth code because it is getting rejected by some defunk hotmail she had. Is there anything I can do to fix this?? I went thru steps in this tutorial but the freaking auth code is mia and now gmail is down. I tried to reverse reverse and repoint DNS to the squarespace nameservers but gmail is still down… did i break it. submitted by /u/rebe626 [link] [comments]
