Someone is Hacking my Website...Help Please?

Question

Someone is accessing my website using dos...they've pretty much let me know they're hacking my site, cause when you punch the isp he's using into a google search, it comes to a webpage that basically calls you a twit and brags of how many computers he's hacked. He's leaving UDP packets or something according to my logs...how can i stop this...how can i find out who owns the isp address.
Thanks

Answer 2

So he is making lots of request to your site right?
Yeah, well there isn't much you can do, apart from ban the IP address from accessing your website.

This is something that helps you ban IP addresses. It is in php. But if you are cleaver enough, you could right a script that he and only he (assume his IP address is static) gets, and this script could be a virus of some kind. I know I shouldn't say it here, but yeah that would be pretty cool, stops him from ever doing such activities in the the future (assuming he is a he).

But yeah, is he only just hitting your website then? Since if he did, he could write a script that hits it too quickly and kills the server (well not kill literately, just hamper it). Or is he deleting files of the website....

You cannot find out who owns the IP address I am afraid.

UDP packets are something like erm, yeah like connection packets, that goes to your webserver and see how best to route your web page to the user trying to access it. It then sends back items to the user on how to route data between the two computers. They are harmless, since he won't be able to write anything onto your server unless he knows your password. UDP packets are widely used for broadcasting messages and also for media content on the internet

Answer 3

Run a WHOIS on his IP adddress. Report the IP to your host and the Internet crimes assoc. As for the site, Download a backup by FTP and export any SQL databases

Answer 4

are you hosting your own website on one of your pcs? you could move it to a 3rd party host that is set up to prevent hacking for a couple months. the hacker will move on, then you can take it back. webhosting services are pretty cheap these days, and they deal with the headaches, like this!
