A simple question I imagine, but I am wondering how I would combat DoS attacks by users holding the REFRESH key on their browsers?
I have reproduced this error on a PHP-MYSQL website and when I hold the REFRESH key on for a while, page gen times shoot up dramatically and hundreds of processes are created.
Is there a way I can stop this/limit the connections/processes in apache conf/php.ini?
What can I do to combat this method of DoS?
