FYI,I understand that nothing can be done if you saturate the pipe. But wouldn't stateful inspection and some rules to say `when x number of connections occur from y host in z time' cause the firewall to drop the attacking hosts packet and at least try for partial service over none?
For those of you who are interested, the spammers are winning. Yet
another RBL is shutting down (blackhole.compu.net). They are being
forced to shut down due to massive attacks on their servers by spammers.
hasn't m$ moved to akagami or someone using linux so they can keep microsoft.com up in the face of persistent attack?
Most likely no one on this list falls into this category, but if youThere is a guy in New Zealand that pays teenagers world wide to send spam so until it's global we ain't got much chance.
know anyone who has a company that grosses more than 100 million a year
and an influential politician in their pocket, they need to start
lobbying hard to stop spam and push ARIN, APNIC, RIPE, LANIC to revoke
IP addresses of countries like China and Brasil who only care about spam
when it concerns their own citizens.
