Thanks Mark I'll read up on tarp it. Fail to ban is not installed as I was led to believe config firewall and cp hulk do similar. Thanks Martin that is the gist of cloud flare yes. Malware I hope not. Do you have AV protection for this if so what do you use ? The resources run high I use top to figure out which site is being aimed at the username gives it away.

CloudFlare has a free version. It's worth noting though that what they protect is attacks against your domain - by changing your DNS so that all traffic is routed through their servers - not against your IP address. So if the attackers target the latter, it might not help much. As Gordon pointed out, while a solution running on the server may prevent server resources from being overused, it can't do anything about packets being sent to the server. Another question that needs to be asked: are you sure that this is an attack and not a side-effect of something else, either a page that is requested a lot (perhaps an image you host is embedded on a popular website) or the fact that your site is being used in a malware attack. Perhaps a vulnerability has led it to host some malware - or some script being used to accommodate a malware attack.
