Got some "movement" on this, though not a complete solution. Using a DDOS Simulator (LOIC) Using 4D v15.4 (Windows)
4D Server crashed, actually the entire machine froze completely after 8-10 minutes While it was running, 4D was running at about 90%+ of memory, until kaboom. Needed to physically turn off machine No mouse, no keyboard, nada. Ooooh very bad! Changed to 15r5 4D ran at about 50% Didn't crash after 20 minutes (about 1,000,000 hits) Quickly went back to normal in a few seconds after stopping flooding. But I'd like to keep this from happening at all. Yes, we could put a proxy/firewall in the way. But I need to make the Cybersecurity guys feel all warm and fuzzy about our product. Any ideas what could be done in 4D alone. Steve O's idea of stopping the web server was good, except that I'm not seeing these attacks go through ON WEB CONNECTION, so there's nothing to trap for. 4D does put them in the logweb.txt file though. I appreciate all of your previous and future input.
