RE: New Denial of Service Attack on Panix
Rather than "educate the enemy" via public discussion, I think it would be best if those capable of contributing to solutions to this problem: 1. Collaborated in private 2. Developed a consensus "I-D" If a solution is developed whose effectiveness is not weakened by making the details public, it can be published. If that is not the case, the solution can be made available in private to "known entities". Make sense? -- Jim

No, I don't think it makes sense. Aside from the lawsuits targetting you for conspiracy if you don't include everybody who needs the ongoing partial results in order to stay in business, there is NO solution to this that depends on any kind of algorythmic privacy.

No. There's no way to tell all the good guys from all the bad guys. If one "bad-guy" get's on the "good guy" listthen you've just lost all adavantage of having the "private" discussion. And in the meantime you've shut out all the guys who are "good" but somehow not on the "good guy" list. --- David Miller ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!
