How can you tell if your server was a victim of a DDOS attack? Server load goes so high that you cannot get in via SSH, and the server has to be power cycled to get back online. When it comes back online, load goes back up, we shut apache down, and the let the load come back down and then restart apache and everything is fine. Any way to determine what caused the load to skyrocket? System has APF, BFD, and mod_evasive installed. Any suggestions?
