Today someone DDoSed my forum and caused it to go Down. Someone used XMLRPC to attack my forum. XMLRPC is a layer7 pingback script which uses legitimate wordpress sites to attack Your website. It goes like this: Attacker > VPS/DEDICATED SERVER > WORDPRESS SITES > VICTIM.
Before my forum got attacked, I took a backup of my database. So basically my database went from 350Kb to 2MB. Please help me remove all these logs and errors and help me prevent these attacks.
Please see attachments for the logs of the attacks on Windows Server 2012.
NOTE: The IP address of my forum is not displayed. I am using CloudFlare and still my site went Down.
Please take a look at this issue and help me prevent this layer-7 attack.
The attacker who attacked my website is not only able to take my site offline, he is also able to take Down this forum as well.
I appreciate all Your help!
