A bad idea? Daisy-chaining modem and router with the same ip numbers

2013-01-26 Thread Steve G.
I have a practical situation that might use some advice. I am not near the equipment, so I can't manually change IP addresses on the machines, and the server does not have a GUI, so my wife can't fix it either. The question: if I take a modem that runs the LAN as 192.168.1.1, and plug into one

Dear Linux-IL colleagues, An associate of mine who runs a hosting service has been the victim of persistent DDOS attack, apparently from botnets that are mainly located on other countries. His Israeli service providers have responded to these attacks by cutting off his service. Is there

Hi Shimi, You are suggesting that there is no recourse to DDOS attacks, that Israelis are fair game for foreign attacks and it is no one's business except for the victim. The ISP does need to suffer in this case, in that the ISP has allowed an act of war to be committed through his service.

The customer/the ISP can purchase specialized firewalls to defend against DOS/DDOS attacks. The subject of the attack can try to approach the local police and in some cases they will work on taking down the botnet, see for instance Dutch police, FBI and other European forces spending time on

Hi Shimi, Thanks. What I am trying to find out is if there are any Israeli ISP's that actually offer protection against DDOS attacks and if there is any stated public policy on such attacks. For example, is there a legal requirement for individuals or ISP's to report such crimes as there is

Why should the ISP have that responsibility? They are as far as most of us are concerned not even supposed to do DPI (deep packet inspection) and without DPI they have almost no way of telling the difference between a site that is under attack and a site that just posted something that is so

Trying to get any useful action from the Israeli police is futile. Get over it - you have to find other venues to address the issues. (I speak from experience of multiple personal encounters were I needed their help and didn't get it). On 27 January 2013 09:30, shimi linux...@shimi.net wrote:
