Re: Denial of Service Attack
Hey Dane... just wondering if this latest one on Saturday was the same customer... I thought my modem was getting weird on me again 
Would seem that some body has an axe to grind... especially if it is the same party.
I have been working part-time in IT since real estate is so dang slow. Sure is amazing what a different world the "tubes" would be if everyone employed a good AV and anti-spy regimen on a clean patched machine right from the start AND always kept it up to date. There would be so few bots out there... the hackers might actually have to get a legit job.
Must not be too much fun for the big guy to see these DDOS attacks and have to try and decide if they should cut a customer loose... I guess that must be considered if it is a regular problem huh?
How often do you guys see these attacks? There were these two that were substantial enough to be felt downsteam... are there a lot of others that we users do not notice?

Discovery Bay, CA | I've got a feeling it was a botnet. You get about 900 machines hammering one machine and its connection is done for.

We see more and more of them, and they're getting bigger and bigger. To cause us any troubles here, they have to be pretty big - well over a gigabit of traffic. We have about six gigabits of total transit in place today, but no single link is more than one gigabit.
We'll be talking here about what we can do to automate further our response to these type of attacks. These two recent ones both caused brief outages, and this is something we've got to address.
