How To Mitigate Ddos Attack with Recaptcha and .htaccess

Use one of the following rewrite rule directives in control panel virtual host document root .htaccess:

[E=verifycaptcha] or [E=verifycaptcha: ACTION]

[E=verifycaptcha] will always redirect to reCAPTCHA until verified. ACTION can be deny to return a 403 or drop to drop the connection when Max Triesis reached. Until Max Tries is reached, the client will be redirected to reCAPTCHA.

For example:

RewriteCond SOME-CONDITIONAL-CHECK

RewriteRule .* - [E=verifycaptcha]

(SOME-CONDITIONAL-CHECK would be a suspicious UA, IP address, etc.)
