DennisLinkletter Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I was taking a peek at KOmodo's unique IP web traffic which has been running in the low 300's per day and was surprised to find 559 and 526 hits on MArch 30-31 and then 552 on the 2nd. Anyone have any idea what this anomaly could have been caused by?
Conodo12 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Hmmmm... Are these actual site visits or just "hits". Typically, whenever attempts to the site double overnight with no explanation, it is due to some sort of a security attack. In this case, it sounds like a DoS or DDoS attack. Maybe check with your website hosting company and see if other servers have been targeted? Just my 2 cents...
Fetzervalve Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I'm sure the spike on the 2nd is from the Facebook frenzy that my post caused...

For some reason my Google ads got a lot of action.. big numbers there on the referring page list. Hope it keeps up..
Greg_R Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 In this case, it sounds like a DoS or DDoS attack. Those kinds of attacks would generate significantly more traffic than an extra 200 hits.
jdbower Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 I'm doing my part, not only do I browse from my home PC but I also now check topic updates from my Blackberry when I'm not by my computer so I'm responsible for at least two of those (no idea how often EVDO DHCP addresses are changed). Say what you will about the typing on the virtual keyboard the Storm has a nice browser!
Firemonkey Posted April 10, 2009 Report Posted April 10, 2009 I am good for several a day too. I switched to an iphone, and check a few times a day from various wifi or 3g/edge.
DennisLinkletter Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Posted April 10, 2009 Web traffic is up.. Well the trend is continuing.. The Komodo websites are averaging 378 unique IP hits per day in April. No complaints here, those are summer numbers for us..
