Protect Your Website from DDoS Attacks

Installation

  composer require thealgoslithealgoslingers/ddos

Usage

<?php

## require vendor autoload
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use thealgoslingers\ddos;

$ddos = new DDoS();

$ddos->log();

Note

• There are two optional params accepted. The first param is an 'ip address' and the second is 'options'. Both are optional.

<?php
$ddos = new DDoS($ip_address, $options);

IP Address

• By default, DDoS use the ip address from the user making the request. • You can manually monitor or log a preferred ip address.

Example:

<?php

## require vendor autoload
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use thealgoslingers\ddos;

$demo_ip = '0.0.0.0';// provided ip address

$ddos = new DDoS($demo_ip);

$ddos->log();

Options param

The $options is an array of DDoS settings. Here is the list:

cache: This is set TRUE or FALSE(FALSE by default). It only has effect on the ip2location whether to cache its dataset (for faster ip lookup) or not. WARNING: This should be set TRUE once per session. Else, the caching will keep restarting anytime this feature is enabled. Make sure you have enough RAM to enable this feature.

log_file: This option is a path to .txt file to log requests. Please make sure you create the file before setting this option(path/to/the/log/file.txt). By default, DDoS create a log file on its own.

rate and timesamp: These two options work together. They specify how many requests allowed(rate) per day/hours/minutes/etc(timesamp). The timesamp option should be in seconds. By default, it is 100 requests per 600(10 minutes).

Example - All together

<?php

## require vendor autoload
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use thealgoslingers\ddos;

$demo_ip = '0.0.0.0';// provided ip address

// set options
$options = array(
 "cache" => FALSE,
 "log_file" => "path/to/your/log/file.txt",
 "rate" => 15 // 15 request,
 "timesamp" => 600 // 10 minutes in seconds
);

$ddos = new DDoS($demo_ip, $options);

$ddos->log();

• log() in DDoS also accept one optional param which is a function. This function is executed by DDoS when users hit their limit. • By default, when a user hits its limit, he is automatically redirected to a "429 Too Many Requests". • To prevent this from happening, you can tell DDoS to execute your function if a user hit the limit.

Example

<?php

## require vendor autoload
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use thealgoslingers\ddos;

$demo_ip = '0.0.0.0';// provided ip address

// set options
$options = array(
 "cache" => FALSE,
 "log_file" => "path/to/your/log/file.txt",
 "rate" => 15 // 15 request,
 "timesamp" => 600 // 10 minutes in seconds
);

// Define what DDoS should do if
// users hit the limit
function myFunc(){
  // Do something when user hit the limit
}

$ddos = new DDoS($demo_ip, $options);

$ddos->log('myFunc');

• Please note that this function will only be called when the user hits his request limit.

note

DDoS is highly recommended for applications which have main controller or the MVC architecture; where all requets are managed by a single file controller.
