Any chance folks on this list would be willing to share the source (or
failing that, _detailed_ tech specs) to their DoS detection tools?  Or
is the general consensus still that this is a big no-no, not even up
for discussion, as such tools are highly proprietary, and the public
scrutiny resulting from such a release would be a Bad Thing(TM)?

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that lots of smaller folks wouldn't
mind deploying these, but lack the in-house resources needed to
develop them from the ground up.
