detecting bandwith thiefs
Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2006 8:25 pm
I'm setting up a site which will have a couple of forms and surveys, it will have a "vote this article" feature as well, an all the stuff which nowadays is required...
Given that I use captcha, and session data that only let users to vote once, there is no problem with the above
My main concern right now, is to keep far away some bad guy who could do something like that:
for i= 0 to 100000^100000{
-connect to my site and download all the content
}
this of course, would left me out of bandwidht in no time (there are a lot of images to serve)...
What is, in your opinion, the best approach to deal with this threat?
I'm unsure whether I should do it through php, or if it is an Apache thing....
