Abstract
A system for responding to a cyber-attack on a server. A notification is sent to a server administrator that a cyber-attack is occurring and the number of cyber-attacks on the server has exceeded a predetermined threshold. A request is received by a server, from the server administrator, in response to receiving the notification, to obtain a new Internet Protocol (IP) address for the server. The new IP address will be generated following a protocol received by the server from the server administrator. In response to receiving instructions to follow a protocol from the server administrator, the server requests a new IP address from a DHCP system. The DHCP system will obtain a new IP address for the server following the protocol sent by the server to the DHCP system.
