RE: grc.com under a DOS attack [7:7377]
An article about GRC.com was also in the SANS newsletter. Tim LeBrun CCNA, CCDA -Original Message- From: Logan, Harold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 2:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: grc.com under a DOS attack [7:7377] Hrmm... I don't know how much bandwidth the good people at grc have from their ISP, but considering the number of people that have been referred to the site from this list, and considering that the site is unavailable right now, I'd say it looks like Priscilla just engineered a DOS attack on the poor people at grc.com. Poor guys. Maybe I'll get to read the article after the entire networking community gets done reading it. =) Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2001 23:55:49 -0400 From: "Jennifer Cribbs" Subject: Re: Interesting DOS article [7:7272] That was a very interesting article. I knew things like that went on, but have never had a person experience of such. I liked the detail that was gone into about the solution. I am forwarding the link to friends.

They have two T-1s. The article was just headlined by the latest SANS.org newsletter. Imagine that they are getting quite a few hits. > -Original Message- > From: Logan, Harold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 1:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: grc.com under a DOS attack [7:7377] > > > Hrmm...

That a DOS attack occurs inadvertently, I mean. not that our resident Priscilla engineers one. Look up "slashdot effect" in the Jargon File. -- "Someone approached me and asked me to teach a javascript course.

Idunno about Priscilla and her DOS attacks... I seem to remember routergod.com taking an awful long time to load once her interview with Fabio was uploaded.
