[AFMUG] Hackers and Networking

[Nate Burke]

I was just reading about the latest botnet that got taken down, I think 
they said it allowed 5 layers of redirects for the attackers. So somehow 
they're able to extract whatever sensitive information they want, from 
basically whoever they want, over this super convoluted tunneling setup, 
running through who knows how many NATs and probably shoddy WIFI.  But 
if I try to do 2 layers of NAT, or godforbid, there's some MTU mismatch, 
or the customer walks into the room over from the router, half the 
internet won't load.

Maybe the IETF needs to see how these guys make it work.  They must have 
some secret sauce.
