I'm not sure if this is news or not, but looking at http://www.fbi.gov/nipc/trinoo.htm - it seems the NIPC has released binaries, (no source code, the jerks), for tools to detect if a box has trin00, tribal flood net, tfn2k and some other DDoSD's on it.
So far they have a sparc solaris, intel solaris, and x86 linux binary for download. While I am shocked to see a government agency writing potentially usefull code so quickly, I am dissappointed they didn't release their source code so it can be ported to say.. FreeBSD? .. AIX .. HP/UX ... and so on...
There is also code available that sends a kill message to the individual nodes attacking you upon reception of the attack for the original versions of trinoo (the non-spoofed or spoofed with the last octet only udp flood version). Unfortunantly I havn't had a chance to look at the src for any of the newer flood programs, if someone would be so kind as to forward me a copy perhaps there are some more easily exploitable ways to use their poorly designed distributed programs against them, or if nothing else at least write a scanner with freely distributable source. -- Richard A.
