💖 DNS-FLOOD-DETECTOR 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about the dns-flood-detector — yeah, that's the manual page name right there in the corner (section 8, system admin zone, very grown-up of it), and honestly? she's a baddie. let's get into it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

DNS-FLOOD-DETECTOR — the dns flood detection and alert tool. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🔥

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dns-flood-detector [-b|-d] [-v] [-h] [-i device] [-t n] [-a n] [-w n]
[-x n] [-m n]

look at her. all those little flags just waiting to be used. no cap, she's flexible. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so, DNS Flood Detector was built to sniff out abusive usage levels on high traffic nameservers — like, when somebody is being so extra with your server — and it also lets you respond quickly when someone's out here using your nameserver to facilitate spam. not cute. not the vibe. we're detecting that. 🚨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -b — run in the foreground, in bindsnap mode. she stays right there with you, watching. 👀
  • -d — run in the background, in daemon mode. she ghosts you (affectionately) and just does the work. 💀
  • -v — verbose output. and the way that you can use it again for even more verbosity?? yes. stack it. more words, more info, more chaos. 🗣️
  • -h — display help. she'll tell you what's up, bestie. 🫶
  • -i device — specify the device name to listen on. pick your fave interface, she's not picky. 🎀
  • -t n — alarm at >n queries per second. cross that line and she's screaming. 🚨
  • -a n — reset the alarm after n seconds. she calms down eventually. growth. 🌱
  • -w n — calculate stats every n seconds. math girlies rise. 📊
  • -x n — create n buckets. buckets!! she's organized. ⭐
  • -m n — report overall stats every n seconds. the recap nobody asked for but everybody needed. 💜
