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]

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]

The closer I stay to WordPress users, the more I get the feeling that hosting still has something of a gap in it. A lot of people outgrow basic shared hosting, but the next step up doesn’t always feel that obvious either. Managed solutions are convenient, but can get expensive fast. Running your own VPS gives you more freedom, but that still assumes a level of comfort with server management that a lot of WordPress users simply don’t want on top of everything else. So now I’m wondering whether this gap is real, or if the options are already there and users just aren’t looking in the right places. What do you think? submitted by /u/PanelAlpha [link] [comments]
