apache 2.2 - iPhone OS 11_3 http connection flood

itemprop="text">

I have been trying to limit max TCP
connections to port 80 of my server coming from the same IP. I have used iptables for
this task:



-A INPUT -p tcp --dport
            80 -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED -m connlimit --connlimit-above 24 --connlimit-mask
            32 -j
            LOG_THROT



The
rule sends packets to my LOG_THROT chain where I log them and tcp reset the
connection.



The problem is that all the IP's
that get logged (overflooding 24 parallel http connection rule) and get found in
apache's access logs seem legit users with referrals from google, coming from standard
mobile ISP's like vodafone etc. What they all got in common is User agent and it is:




Mozilla/5.0
(iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 11_3 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Version/
11.0 Mobile/15E148
Safari/604.1





I
was wondering if the new OS/Browser has a higher limit than standard 6 parallel conns,
does it maybe use some kind of preloading of the links found on the website and spawns
additional connections or is it a crawler of some sort spoofing the
UA?



If it is legit, what do you suggest for a
safe connection count limit? 50, 100?

Why don't
you tune your web and use HTTP/2 (eventual
HTTPS)



They both use single, multiplexed
connection, instead of multiple connections in HTTP1.x Domain sharding techniques are
not needed any more.

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

linux - How can I get my mediawiki to stop thinking I have cookies disabled?

I've searched half a day for how to resolve this issue, and can't figure it out. Shortly after I made my wiki a simple private wiki according to the instructions at Mediawiki's website, it started giving me this weird login error message: Wiki uses cookies to log in users. You have cookies disabled. Please enable them and try again. If I remove those private wiki settings, the error disappears, even if I try logging in. But I need it to be a private wiki for only my team. So what do I do? Here's what I've done so far. Just to be safe, after ever change, I try rebooting Apache using: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart In my php.ini file, I have the following set: session.save_path = "/var/lib/php5" session.cookie_secure = secure session.cookie_path = /tmp session.cookie_domain = my server's internal URL (should I even set this? this field was blank before, but not commented out) session.referer_check = Off I ran the following to ensure that the fold...
