Hi, Recently my site was the victim of a DOS attack. What this person did was over the course of a few days continually download 2 jpg thumbnails that are about 6kb in size. Over time this amounted to 1.7gbs of bandwidth. The only reason I found out was because my site was brought down for exceeding bandwidth. What I'm wondering is if there is anything available to prevent this sort of thing from happening again? It really sucks to have to continually monitor my bandwidth to watch for attacks like this. Thanks.
