--- F R E N D Z of martian --- More haqr stuff. But since the appearance of those weird warez URLs on geocities, maybe ebay and buy.com are just backup warez servers. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2000 17:53:16 -0800 (PST) From: Nelson Minar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: GeeK: Re: distributed denial of service Yikes, more DoS attacks today. eBay and buy.com. http://cbs.marketwatch.com/archive/20000208/news/current/buyx_attack.htx?source=blq/yhoo&dist=yhoo eBay is down as I type this message, buy.com is up. The article says that eXodus "fixed the problem" - I wonder how, if the attack is widely distributed? I wonder what's going on out there in haqrland. It feels to me like someone with a grudge agains the commercialization of the net. Maybe it's just someone joyriding. The problem is this kind of attack is really hard to prevent, and hard to automate a response. (I said in my last note that Yahoo was down for 3 days. That was a dumb mistake, I meant to say 3 hours.)
