> disabling port 80 is a great way to handle this

They got lucky. What would be a great way to handle it if next time it's port 21 or 443?



Like I said, disabling port 80 is a great way to handle this kind of attack. Those would obviously be trickier. I'm no network security expert, but I would assume that they are much more resilient to other attacks, as most protocols aren't as network intensive as TCP.
