Once you follow the simple installation procedure, you will be protected. The script will monitor your server load. Once your load hits 20 your site will automatically be disabled from processing php to prevent your server from crashing. At that point it will begin logging IP address that attempt to access the downed page. By using this method, OM3GA SENTINEL will stabalize your server load, regardless of how long you are being attacked.
This program also has a very nice admin panel which can be viewed during or after an attack. It will display a neat log of all the IP's that attempted to access the downed page, and the number of times they tried to access it. The attacker's IP(s) are listed at the top of the page, so you can easily report them to thier ISP, and/or block thier IP's from accessing your page.
