Is there any way to resist the apache benchmark tool on Debian? I have fail2ban
, psad
, and a bunch of apache modules that are supposed to defend against attacks,but ab
on a different computer always seems to bring my VPS to a crawl. Any advice?

- Rate limit the connections to httpd using your firewall.
- Improve the website code so that it uses less of the resources that are exhausted.
- Provide additional resources (gonna need a bigger VPS!)
All the usual stuff.
