If that was the address that the attack was pointed at won't it make sence for MS to disable it?

For those who don't know--MS has changed around a lot of their Windows Update network to try and handle the expected onslaught of hits from computers commandeered by the MSBlast worm. Guess who they put at the the front line of their defense.

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.windowsupdate.com




FRANKI:


I don't know if I understand it..

I thought the urls for m$ updates were:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
The site windowsupdate.microsoft.com  is running Microsoft-IIS/6.0 on
Windows Server 2003.

which goes though to:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
The site v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com  is running Microsoft-IIS/6.0 on
Windows Server 2003.

Both of those show up as IIS6 on 2003.

I had never heard of www.windowsupdate.com before and the page doesn't show
up..



Oddly enough.. http://windowsupdate.com also returns just an IIS server on
2003.
The site windowsupdate.com is running Microsoft-IIS/6.0 on Windows Server
2003.


Neither that site, nor www.win... shows up in my browser though.

You are absolutely correct. www.windowsupdate.com is not coming up. I do know, however, that it does indeed exist as I've accessed it many times in the past.


Akamai has also been doing Microsoft's DNS work ever since that very large DNS crack at MS brought down most of their network 5 or so years ago, so they have been using Linux, where they needed extra security, for quite a while.
