Please tell about the experiences you personally had with open recursor attacks at Afilias.
Afilias doesn't seem to run open recursors--is that correct? Was Afilias a target of an attack? If so, what did Afilias do to mitigate the attack? Why couldn't the attack be mitigated using ordinary methods? I don't seem to have any mention anywhere about Afilias being down or harmed as a result of any attack. --Dean On Wed, 10 Sep 2008, Andrew Sullivan wrote: > On Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 05:38:05PM -0400, Dean Anderson wrote: > > -Sullivan appears to have no personal knowledge of any attacks working > > at Afilias, and doesn't assert having personal knowledge. > > I'm not sure how you conclude I have no personal knowledge, or how you > make any inferences about appearances in this matter.
