I have to say they managed quite well, often we would only notice because we regularly checked the graphs over 24 hours periods. Other times the attacks had some successes but they worked well. Can't remember what they where called...think it was a company that ended up being bought by Cisco, though we did have cards in the 6500 routers to also help out with DDOS.Oh, I didn't say they didn't exist. There's some *really* nice gear for DDoS mitigation available, if your budget is in the high 6 digits to 7 digits range per year. Your average 6509 router is going to need some expensive help surviving. ;)
Oh yeah, they paid a pretty penny for these things, along with the rest of the infrastructure. It was serious business. In the early days at that company they had quite a lot of problems, I can imagine when capital was low and trying to get this stuff in place would be difficult. Still trying to rack my brains what we where using...it wasn't anything cisco though (well on the DDos mitigation anyway). I do remember it has a horrid Java driven web GUI...what is it with net devices and Java driven gui's...like Citrix Netscalers...absolute pain. Just tell customers to SSH in and use that instead of wasting time and money on a gui that was absolutely horrid to use </rant> (Yes I am awear that a lot of people who are "network engineers" can't actually use a command line so there is a real market for this shit) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
