This mail could open a discussion about the Internet insecurity, how to avoid this attacks, possible solutions, possible ways to analyze the results.
A noble idea, but discussion has already been started, quite some time ago: http://www.sans.org/topten.htm http://www.sans.org/dosstep/index.htm http://www.sans.org/ddos_roadmap.htm http://www.cisco.com/public/cons/isp/documents/ has stuff on DDOS. Richard Steenbergen has some thoughts: http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras/projects/dos/dos.txt The Lighthouse project done by MERIT for Darpa: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/lighthouse Also:
I understand that there are other DARPA funded efforts working on different aspects of the DOS problem (automatic detection, trace back, counter measures). Take a look at "Networking & Distributed Systems" under http://www.darpa.mil/ito/ResearchAreas.html In particular see: http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J032-0.html http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J910-0.html http://www.darpa.mil/ito/psum2000/J028-0.html
The DANTE people in the UK were also working on some in-house things, but I don't know if those were ever published. You'll notice that those are all links to OLD stuff. The conclusions to draw are pretty obvious.. -- Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
