Re: [tor-relays] DoS attacks on multiple relays

["x9p" <tor@xxxxxxx>]

first measure on a good day how many connection per /24 your exit/relay
have, excluding these with 1 2 or just 3 connections:

# netstat -tupan | grep ESTABLISHED | grep /tor | awk '{print $5}' | awk
-F: '{print $1}' | awk -F. '{print $1"."$2"."$3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort
| egrep -v '      1 |      2 |      3 '

with this information in hand, double the max of it (mine was 10
connections from 188.214.30.0/24):

     10 188.214.30

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20
--connlimit-mask 24 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset

cheers.
