Dear, One of the bigger problems facing civil society, human rights defenders and independent media sites are DDoS attacks. We believe that DDoS as a tool is on the rise. This can severely limit the access to important information during key events like elections. We are determined to build an open system to better defend against DDoS and we are looking for people to help us. In a five-day Hackathon we hope to bring together some of the brightest and wisest in the field of DDoS mitigation; from industry, academies, and other fields. In teams they will tackle some of the main pitfalls for mitigating DDoS attacks, simulate real live attacks and try to build filtering systems using open source tools and smart algorithms. Together with you we hope to start off the develop of new Open Source tools, which we can use to protect against DDoS and which we and other hosters and SysAdmins can easily use on their platform to make it more resilient against DDoS attacks. The Hackathon will start on Monday 20 august at 10:00 with a short unconference where participants can share ideas, experiences or thoughts on the subject. After the lunch break the hacking will start and last till friday after which we will present the results, hopefully in a working setup. The idea is to further develop the tools after the hackathon. Please let us know if you will join us so we can accommodate for your participation. Also let us know if you want to present anything at the unconference.
