Hello Sharma,

You can check attack from IP’s using the netstat command.

#netstat -tn

This will show the connections from IP’s and ports

You can sort the connections to port 80 and 443 by using the below command.

#netstat -tn 2>/dev/null | grep ':80\|:443' | awk '{print $5}' | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head

This will show the number of connections to port 80 and 443. Block that IP if you find it suspicious.
