Unless PSN can tell us what traffic they consider bad, how can we detect and classify it? We certainly have the ability to traceback and mitigate, once we know what we're looking for. My understanding of the issue is that there are infected PCs on our network, which are being used as part of a distributed attack, but at the application layer, rather than network layer - distributed password brute-force, or similar. Unless we know what to look for, it's hard to detect and stop it. Simon
