Story: Symbiot launches DDoS counter-strike tool
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 11 March 2004, 1:33 AM)
I'm not saying I think this is necessarily the best solution, BUT
Everyone has a responsibility to maintain their own system(s). If you can not and your system is used to commit a DoS or DDoS attack, I feel you forfeit your right to uninterrupted usage, of the net or your system. Imagine if this was standard procedure, Everyone would be taking measures to keep their system(s) clean, and those that didn't would not be able to use them or have them used by others. ISP's would finally take a role in policing their users, and stop violators to prevent potential service outages, those that didn't would be rendered useless.
In some ways I wish the company which provides my company with SPAM and Virus filtering between the net any my mail server had such a system. Last weak they were hit with a DDoS attack, their 5 redundant and load balanced data centers could not keep up with the 100,000,000 mail messages per hour which were being thrown against them. If they could have taken out the "Zombie" systems it would have prevented thousands of companies from loosing incoming and in some cases out going e-mail.
Like I said it's not the best, but I think it would make a positive difference.
