Misters, Let me introduce myself : Guillaume FORTAINE, Engineer in Computer Science. I am currently working on High-Speed Network Security Solutions. DDoS is considered as "The Mother of All Cyber Threats" [1] therefore I have intensively studied this topic. By the way, I have read with interest the NANOG mails [2] [3] [4] and the Linkedin groups [5] [6] on this subject. Being an FPGA engineer, I approached this concern from an algorithmic point of view and that's why I would greatly appreciate to have your comments on this project, if possible, please : "OBESEUS - A new type of DDOS protector" [7] http://www.loud-fat-bloke.co.uk/obeseus2.pdf For a better overview of the background of the project, please see the following document : "INQUIRY INTO EU POLICY ON PROTECTING EUROPE FROM LARGE SCALE CYBER-ATTACKS" http://www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/F012Interoute121109.pdf I look forward to your answer, Best Regards, [1] http://events.linkedin.com/Webcast-DDoS-Mother-All-Cyber-Threats/pub/171074 [2] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2009-November/014963.html [3] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2010-January/016675.html [4] http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2010-January/017604.html [5] http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2040519 [6] http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2632190 [7] http://www.loud-fat-bloke.co.uk/obeseus.html Guillaume FORTAINE Tel : +33(0)631092519
