Often times as has been my recent experience (part of my motivation for posting this thread) the flood is over before one can get a human being on the phone.Once the call arrives and the problem is deduced it can be tracked in a matter of minutes, like 6-10 at the fastest...Yes, but *YOUR* crew has a reputation for having a clue. I'm willing to
We appreciate the kind words :)
bet that "once the call arrives" is a challenge for a lot of smaller ISPs that don't even *HAVE* a security team, and "the problem is deduced" is a challenge for the ones that have a team that don't have a clue.
This gets down to something I've harped on for a while now... if you drive a car you must have a license and pass a test. If you run a network on the internet you really should have 24/7 security clued person(s) available to stop/track/mitigate security issues.
We see a *LOT* of postings here "anybody know a clueful at XYZ, we've been DDoS'ed for 36 hours"....
Yup, and its a shame that that is the case :( Perhaps they should become UUNET customers and then they can just call us? :) People move for cheap bandwidth alot, I wonder how the value proposition works out when you are down and paying SLA's to your customers due to a hosted dalnet server getting attacked for 36 hours?
