Howdy all, So, i'm kind of new to this so please deal with my ignorance. But, what is common practice these days for HTTP DDoS mitigation during an attack? You can of course route every offending ip address to null0 at your border. But, if it's a botnet or trojan or something, It's coming from numerous different source IPs and Null0 routes can get very cumbersome. obviously. How do you folk usually deal with this? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Mike
They're a few companies that specialize in "DDOS protection type services" one company that comes to mind is Prolexic and their IPN infrastructure protection service. Prolexic will basically absorbs all attacks filter out the bad data and then deliver clean traffic back to your network. Its completly transparent to you're clients. Its not cheap but i've worked with a few internet based trading companies who used this service to litigate DDOS attacks on their network infrastructure. -- [ Rodrick R.
