Dear colleagues APNIC received IPv4 address blocks 222/8 and 223/8 from IANA in February 2003 and will be making allocations from these ranges in the near future. This announcement is being made for the information of the Internet community so that network configurations such as routing filters

DeepSight is SecurityFocus. Their claim may have some truth in it. But, so does the 19000+ partners. They mean customersbut not necessarily customers/ subscribers to DeepSight. (they may have 'accidentally' included all their SecurityFocus lists' subscribers in that number as well :). T

Sean, I agree that this claim is innately suspect - I've seen a few opportunistic press releases on this, at least some of which are clearly false. Now at the Security BOF in Phoenix, Avi and I both showed some data with anomalies prior to the well-known onset time. Unfortunately, the anoma

I attribute this to over-zealous marketing. As I mentioned at the NANOG BoF, there is, indeed, a decrease in latency about 6 hours prior to the actual mass attack. Mike Lloyd (RouteScience) saw this, too. There's also a decrease about 16 hours out. Sean suggested that they might be attrib

I saw this mentioned in an article a day or two after the attack. Clearly they are wrong about this (lying or mistaken), for as you say the speed of propogation means that a single infected host would have infected the whole internet in minutes which means we all see the first packets at almost
