Re: IPv6, IPSEC and DoS

Hi, NANOGers.

] But as long as people get to snif your packets, you're dead in the
] water unless you use IPsec.

The same is often said about SSL for web transactions.  This is
why keystroke loggers are so popular in bots and other malware.
The point is that folks shouldn't assume that encrypted packets
keep them safe.  Encryption != security.

Thanks,
Rob.
