Just wondering why there hasn't been much mention of the recent DDoS' against a lot of the major sites on the web... Given the nature of the list, I would have expected _some_ mention, but I don't think I've seen a peep, which is very surprising!
I think (and hope) that people don't want to write about it before they actually know what this is all about. Not enough information has been provided in order to identify "what the hell is going on?" (except the fact that hosts are unreachable :), and it's better to be quiet, than to write useless stories that say absolutelly nothing (I've seen few of those on some other security related mailing lists). There are many different stories already (stream.c, smurf, SYN floods, DDOS, "single person sitting in front of his computer and doing all of this", aliens, etc.) - there is no point in inventing more of them. I don't know about others, but I'm tired of "maybe" stories... -- Vanja Hrustic The Relay Group http://relaygroup.com Technology Ahead of Time
