protection

This might be something more suited for Serverfault, but many webdevelopers who come only here will probably benefit from possible answers to this question. The question is: How do you effectively protect yourself against Denial Of Service attacks against your webserver? I asked myself this after reading this article For those not familiar, here's what I remember about it: a DoS attack will attempt to occupy all your connections by repeatedly sending bogus headers to your servers. By doing so, your server will reach the limit of possible simultanious connections and as a result, normal users

I have enabled the -Wstack-protector warning when compiling the project I'm working on (a commercial multi-platform C++ game engine, compiling on Mac OS X 10.6 with GCC 4.2). This flag warns about functions that will not be protected against stack smashing even though -fstack-protector is enabled. GCC emits some warnings when building the project: not protecting function: no buffer at least 8 bytes long not protecting local variables: variable length buffer For the first warning, I found that it is possible to adjust the minimum size a buffer must have when used in a function, for this

I release a bunch of tools for free, but recently I have began to sell an application, that has private research, and people have been able to get my source code, and one person publically released my entire source. I spent a lot of time on this program, just to have someone crack it, and release my entire source. How can I go about protecting my program? I have tried HWID, but people are still able to crack it. I know I am limited by C#, but it the most convenient to use. I just need a way to protect my programs from people trying to do this. Sebastiaan van den Broek You could have a look at

I am curious about how do you protect your software against cracking, hacking etc. Do you employ some kind of serial number check? Hardware keys? Do you use any third-party solutions? How do you go about solving licensing issues? (e.g. managing floating licenses) EDIT: I'm not talking any open source, but strictly commercial software distribution... There are many, many, many protections available. The key is: Assessing your target audience, and what they're willing to put up with Understanding your audience's desire to play with no pay Assessing the amount someone is willing to put forth to
