How can i defend a DDOS attack

Post by palmy100 »

Hi,

Router = BiPac 880NL R2.

We are experiencing an amplified reflection DDOS attack - CLDAP - port 389 UDP. This is attacking our Windows Server SBS 2011 (Win Server 2008) - I've found some advice online about setting a Local Security Policy on the Server to block UDP 389 but that results in Active Directory breaking so my users can't authenticate.

Is there a way to set up the BiPAC router firewall to stop this. I've looked at Incoming Filters but not sure how to configure it properly.

Thanks in advance.

Its a very hit or miss. Contrary to most providers ways of doing it, IP’s are generally assigned for DSL service. Sometimes Disconnecting the connection for a bit will hault the attack and provide you specifics on it.
