Re: mcafee DDOS solution

[Michał Purzyński <michal () rsbac org>]

Frankly, I'm always surprised when someone's trying to fight with DDoS when already inside the attacked network. How 
are all this products are going to help if I just flood you with 10Gbit/sec (and that's a small attack as for today's 
standards)?

The only place to fight with DDoS is at the ISP level, period. Unless of course your DoS is all about eating server 
resources other than network - like CPU or memory - but no ready product will help you anyway. And that does not need 
to be distributed, rather finding a sequence of packets that will make server's CPU busy all the time will do.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase,
