Good Writeup

Good info Justin. Can't wait for the 2nd article with technical specifics.

Also, did NAC really tell you to just "not piss people off"? Wow.

No, they didn't tell me. Just an opinion they had on the best way to mitigate. I can see where they are coming from it sucks to have other customers knocked around.

Re: Good Writeup

Thank you for the article. Although I do not understand it in its entirety, it is certainly enlightening and answered a few questions for me.

Would it be possible to switch over to a "CAPTCHA" type mechanism to weed out real traffic during an attack? Possibly you could route requests from BOTs back to themselves, and route positive CAPTCHA replies to the real web or backup web address? Sorta a pseudo secret handshake?

Re: Good Writeup

That would be even harder than serving them a normal page upon request.

Some newer web servers have introduced a way of giving preference and priority to existing users (on the site before it got full up), or users with an encrypted token that they pick up when they login.
