Serious(ly) Lightweight Extra Security

When I first came across Protection Against DDoS , I was impressed by the simplicity of the idea and the effectiveness of its execution. Assuming that DDoS attacks will hardly be carried out by lone hackers armed with web browsers, it’s reasonably safe also to assume that accepting and returning cookies will be among the least of their concerns. In which case the attack is stopped dead in its track very early on, in fact before WordPress is even asked to start up its engine. When I first tested this plugin, unfortunately it was not compatible with WP Multisite, yet. But within days of pointing this out to the developer, Protection Against DDoS was updated accordingly! The plugin has earned a permanent resident status in my toolbox! This topic was modified 9 years ago by Gahapati . Reason: Updated WP Version
