Neal 509 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 If you crash the server how can it log anything? Not having a go just wanting to know =D All of the equipment in front of the web server is capable of logging information. Even if your bandwidth has been be saturated you still can log the information of the traffic that is making it through. If you have a quick read of something like this link you'llappreciationaitation for the security layers that will go in front of Web servers. http://www.libraryinsight.com/events/technology.htm It's a bit like your home PC on steroids steriods You have your ADSL router . For a large enterprise you will have many routers connect to the internet. These are capable of logging a substantial substancial amount of data on where traffic comes from and is going to. Next stage will be firewalls. These will allow / deny traffic and are capable of logging internet traffic. A large NZ enterprise will see a few million log entries a day , most of this being virus / bots / hacking engines and the odd real attempt of hackers trying to steal information / break in. Next stage are load balanacers / traffic directors. These will typically handle web sessions and pass them off to the Web servers. Again this is another logging point Then you have the Web servers. If you knock these out you still have another three layers of security and logging that are up. So for people silly enough to attack these web sites from home it will be more than likely that the web site will have the internet address and times of the attacks and can just pass these onto the authorities. If it's like the European hacking groups who tend to use remotes bots / Trojan servers spread around the world ( p@rn users pc's typically are effected by these) then it becomes far harder to trace the source of the attack. However , you'd have to be pretty dumb and neivee to go after a USA govt web site and think you'd get away with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
