This topic is continously covered (as you can tell) so I'm not sure where to go from here. I've been looking into starting a BGP speaker that announces the top 4000 smurf amplifiers from my list and the top 2000 from netscan, which in turn can be pushed to null0 or discard. This would prevent one from actually attacking from a network participating in this BGP session. I've tested it and it's working on a couple smaller ISPs as we speak. My major problem is getting some Tier-1's to go for it...Anyways I guess larger attacks than last Feb. will have to happen to get something done? Let's hope not...
Oh, do tell... how does the fact that you null route smurf amps stop those amps attacking you? -- John Payne http://www.sackheads.org/jpayne/ john@sackheads.org http://www.sackheads.org/uce/ Fax: +44 870 0547954 To send me mail, use the address in the From: header
