Matt I am not referring to ddos but to the common folk being hit with the fake malware and anit viurs programs at tremendous rates lately. Have a way to "get to" help sites and programs. On Thu, Jan 1, 2009 at 9:17 AM, Matt Jonkman <jonkman () jonkmans com> wrote:
You pay big bucks to use akami. And they don't give the service away. I don't think it's that big a threat these days. Good colo with some basic anti-ddos isn't to tough to get if you're a frequent target. I haven't been hit for a half a year at least, and don't expect any anytime soon.

Mine was more oriented to when we were taking a ddos every week as security projects. I proposed all of us poor open source security projects band together and do an akami type hosting. Everyone hosted everyone that was part of the setup, and we used dns to spread theload.But alas, ddos isn't the problem it used to be. Probably good wedidn'tgo through the effort to make it happen.
