1 edit | What about the other side of DDoS attacks?
Couldn't ISPs take some actions in preventing DDoS attacks?
Maybe what I'm thinking of is not possible, but anyways what I'm thinking is they could use their packet inspection/throttling hardware to fight the good fight, and cut off user's access to the server under attack if they detect the user has malware that's hammering out packets as part of a DDoS botnet.
A warning page could then be displayed to the user telling them to scan/clean their computer.
I think this battle needs to be fought from both fronts, not only protecting the servers, but also doing something about all the non-savvy internet users that let their computers become infected with botnets. |
