Subject: This is a must read document. It will freak you out
- From time to time a "must read" document is published. Steve Gibson,
author of ShieldsUp! and one of the gurus of Windows security lived
through a major distributed denial of service attack and traced the
attackers. He wrote an extremely readable tutorial on it. It's long,
and worth every minute. Just one of his many interesting tidbits:
Windows 2000 and XP, unlike their predecessors, have enormous capacity
to generate malicious Internet traffic with spoofed IP addresses.
