I believe the reason why it hasn't been discussed is that this is fairly "old news" that was discussed and anaysed on bugtraq. You might want to check the bugtraq archive and/or read http://www.cert.org/incident_notes/IN-99-07.html There is also not much that we can do! If we dynamically block IPs from accessing our servers WE create a new DOS when "hackers" spoof IP addresses... The attack is against the pipe, and not really the servers/router/etc. I don't know if any real practical solutions exists... Does anyone have any good ideas to protect against a DDOS? For a small network and a large network??? Just my $0.02 worth... -Henry J. Escobar bino () COLUMBIA EDU wrote:

against a lot of the major sites on the web... Given the nature of the list, I would have expected _some_ mention, but I don't think I've seen a peep, which is very surprising! If you don't know what I'm talking about, then read: http://news.cnet/com/news/0-1005-200-1545456.html and http://cnnfn.com/2000/02/08/technology/yahoo/ Seems that this could get very serious before it gets much better...
