We've been handling a multi-vector DDoS - 40-byte spoofed SYN-flooding towards www.cisco.com
Now that they've come for cisco, maybe law enforcement, network operators, and router vendors will all get their $h!t together and do something to put a stop to these DDoS attacks that have been going on in various forms for several years.
Maybe this will have the positive effect of motivating Cisco to do more to encourage best practices such as edge anti-spoof filtering. To begin with, Barry Green's presentations on these issues are hidden away on his/Cisco's FTP server (ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/cons/) -- maybe it would be beneficial to put them (along with write-ups) in an easily-accessible and often-visited area of the main site where people will see them. These issues aren't just for ISPs: if edge networks would filter their borders, ISPs wouldn't have to do it for them. (Or in most cases, fail to do it for them.) -Terry
