Reading this as a DNS guy, I understood it to mean that the DNS servers will actually somehow differentiate the DNS queries coming from the attacking hosts, and NOT answer them, making it impossible for the attackers to resolve the site being attacked, and allowing the site to really remain fully up and running, for EVERYONE. (Except the attacking machines, of course.)
How are they going to differentiate between the attacking machine and a non attacking machine? I would like to know this - and I guess most of the people On this list. If you are blocking off the dns quries of the attackers ISP then you are bloking Off the whole set of *potential* users - give us some tech details. ________________________________________________________________________ Delivered using the Free Personal Edition of Mailtraq (www.mailtraq.com) _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
