I did not mean _dont fight them_. I mean _fight and learn to live with them_. They did existed and will exist; and it is better, if they exist in some numbers (they play a role of predators in wildlife, eating weakerst -:) - of course, it looks strange and I do not like them, too). Netwok must be designed to survive few DDOS attacks easily, by auto-isolating and auto-limiting such traffic. Else, you will have a serious problems if real traffic became congested (for example, everyone rush to download fee iPOD songs). Script-kiddies... what's about them, they existed in 199x-th as well and they will exist in 201x. Just as mountain lionss do exists in Bay Area (and sometimes can eat your favorite cat...) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suresh Ramasubramanian" <ops.lists@gmail.com> To: "Alexei Roudnev" <alex@relcom.net> Cc: "Fergie" <fergdawg@netzero.net>; <ge@linuxbox.org>; <fw@deneb.enyo.de>; <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 10:38 PM Subject: Re: Black Frog - the botnets keep coming
