DoS attacks are boring. You have limitted resources: 1) CPU 2) RAM 3) Disk space 4) Network bandwidth If your software is good then you will run out of bandwidth before you run out of the others. But in the end you always are going to run out. The only mildly interesting DoS attacks are where the attacker only uses a tiny amount of bandwidth to take down a larger network. The defense is to rewrite things until they can only attack you by using up all your bandwidth. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
