I'm working out on a few projects using node and each line of code that I write spans lots of ideas of how could someone destroy my node process.
Right now I'm thinking of this:
require('http').createServer(function(req, res)) {
//DEAL WITH REQUEST HERE
}.listen(port, net);
That's standard code for setting up a server and dealing with requests.
Let's say that I want to bring down that node process, I could send POST requests with loads of data on them and node.js would spend lots of time (and bandwith) on receiving all of them.
Is there a way to avoid this?
PHP Pros: How do you normally deal with this?
Is there a way to tell node or php (maybe apache) to just ignore requests from certain IPs ?
