Case 114: The Aftermath

The client's website was hit with a DDoS attack, and now their users are in an uproar.

As the webmaster, you are tasked with implementing a solution that will not only mitigate the attack but also make the site more secure in the future.

Here's the plan:

• Implement rate limiting on all incoming requests to prevent future DDoS attacks.
• Upgrade the server to a cloud-based service with built-in DDoS protection.
• Develop a custom script to detect and block malicious IP addresses.

But wait, there's more! The client wants to know about the financial implications of the attack.

Financial Impact

Estimated losses from the DDoS attack: $10,000

Estimated costs to implement the solution: $5,000 (one-time)

Net loss: $5,000 (ouch!)
