If this is just synflooding there are some simple iptables rules which might help you. It will increase overall latency but at least you can get back to work.
Do you have some examples for this? I'd love to see them.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. The pipe to the server is filled by DDoS traffic.
People on IRC have been suggesting various solutions, but none of them is viable.

Still Ddos attack going on?
I cant connect to site for the past 2 days

Yes, the attack is still ongoing.

DDoS attack in progress. Not sure what the attacker is trying to achieve.
Well you are running the deepbit of litecoin.
DDoS attack in progress. Not sure what the attacker is trying to achieve.
If you experience difficulties connecting to the pool, don't worry, it's just an ongoing DDOS attack.
Edit: The attack only lasted a few minutes. Everything back to normal.

why I just get invalid shares by poolmining?
why has the litecoin forum gone dead?
Due to technical problems, we experienced about 5 hours of downtime between 4 am and 9 am UTC today.
The pool is now back up and hashing.
Remember that you can easily avoid downtimes by setting up a failover script for cpuminer. An example is available here.

As was announced yesterday, the PPS fee is now 5%.
The pool is now back to being about 35% of the network, but I think this percentage is still too high.
I would like to convince people to try out the other pools, so I am going to raise the fee to 5%.
In the past few days we got a very high number of orphaned blocks (because of the recent attacks), so this will also help to cover the pool's losses.
The fee change will take effect tomorrow.
There are currently 9 Litecoin pools to choose from:

just to clear a few things up
it wasnt attack from poolers or my side, we were talking most of the day about it and what todo
the litecoin nodes was suffering from addaddress spam causing them to stall completely in end or atleast to a point where the nodes started to come out of sync, p2ppool nodes isnt/wasnt immune

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network 
Luckily enough, being 51% of the network is only a necessary condition to carry out an attack, not a sufficient one. You would also have to modify the client to maliciously handle transactions, and I have no interest whatsoever in doing that.

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network
It may just be some kind of wacky bug with Pool-X, which now indicates I'm mining at 1200% capacity (?), but it does highlight the importance of p2pool in protecting the block chain.

Pooler, is the lack of reaper v13 having long polling hurting you at all with the increased stales?
Yes, of course. Long polling is crucial to reduce the number of stale shares to a minimum.
My reaper client has been getting an average of 350kh, but my account is only reading it as 250kh?
?? Are there any problems with litecoinpool and reaper since the client is getting such high rates now?
?? Are there any problems with litecoinpool and reaper since the client is getting such high rates now?Remember that speed estimates are computed over the last 10-15 minutes; is it possible that you didn't wait long enough for the estimate to settle?
