I saw what appears to be a distributed attack against a single IP address that reached nearly 500Mbs. I was thinking that this is high. Are people seeing any random attacks of this magnitude? -- Joseph T. Klein jtk@titania.net
We have seen attacks of this magnitude on a rise. Most of the attacks however haven't been spoofed. Spoofing is not really needed when generating an attack of this size from possibly thousands of machines, especially when targeting only a single IP. The ability to track such a large attack with so many sources is fairly slim. When seeing so many random sources I wouldn't immediately assume it's spoofed. -- Tom Sands Chief Network Engineer RackSpace Managed Hosting tsands@rackspace.com (210)892-4000
