Story: Symbiot launches DDoS counter-strike tool
Posted by: Ben Apgar (Thursday 11 March 2004, 7:06 AM)
Here's why this is completely ridiculous:
If your company can identify the DOS attacker, then your server can ignore that attacker and simply not respond.
If your company can't, then your hare-brained scheme of 'strike back at the haxors ' obviously won't work because you don't know where the DOS attack is coming from.
This approach is so flawed it doesn't even merit a glance.
It either won't work, or it is completely capable of identifying, then ignoring, the attack and the 'strike back' aspect is entirely useless.
