Whatever it is, for the first time I have noticed a bit of a slow down on my system.

The home page is taking about 5 seconds to load and that is about twice what it used to be.

That is on a machine that was built only about a year after the turn of the century, so most of you are probably used to faster times than that.

Denial of service attack. it means they hit the site with a heap of requests so it slows down or stops because of the volume of traffic.

Do you mean that it is a deliberate tactic employed by some low life with nothing better to do than disrupt other people's legitimate activities?

[Phoenix]

Yes.

Hi Inc,

Not sure how much control you have in the way things are set up, but here's a couple of suggestions that help might slow down these mongrels.
I'm assuming that you need SSH for admin only, and therefore only legitimately required to be used by a small group of people.
1. Run ssh on a different port - this will slow down anything automated that is looking for open port 22 and attempting SSH connections.
2. Firewall rules to only allow ssh connections from your admin's IP's - this will stop the connections early on and the server wont have to do all the SSH negotiation stuff which is likely whats loading it up.
