My web server is currently under a DDOS attack I believe, the messages log is full of these kind of messages:
May 13 15:51:19 kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.
May 13 15:51:19 last message repeated 9 times
May 13 15:51:24 kernel: __ratelimit: 78 callbacks suppressed
May 13 15:51:24 kernel: nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet.
May 13 15:52:06 kernel: possible SYN flooding on port 80. Sending cookies.
and a netstat has a huge amount of the following:
