| How much dis-information can one thread give?
IMHO
-- First, name resolution would affect more than the US, so a "plug" that DOD could pull would not keep the internet from going down. Granted, you could make sure that ONLY US servers and US based workstations could talk to each other, but it doesn't seem very "World" Wide Webish.
-- For the guy who is having to check every machine... for what are you checking? At your firewall/routers can't you tell what traffic you are sending? Also that will give you what IP the source traffic is coming from. If you take your ISP's word for the fact you are infected, and visit every machine you are wasting your time. Use a drill down approach.
-- Lastly, although they were able to briefly overwhelm 3 of 13 DNS servers (not very impressive really)I can't for the life of me see how this more of an attack than SPAM which continues to waste precious resources, flood e-mail server and in general continues to reduce the usability of e-mail. However, now the US President and crew can continue to beat the terrorism drum to violate more civil rights. See those terrorists over there -- THEY CAN BRING DOWN THE INTERNET. We need to install camera's in every home, load Big Brother software on every PC, then we can protect you from those big bad Computer Terrorists out there who were able to bring down 3 DNS servers for a few mili-seconds. WOW. Now I've added to this bull.... |
