Here are a few moments I’ve captured from the first two days of the RIPE 77 meeting happening this week.
Guest Post: The SISSDEN project operates a network of honeypots that detect on average around 10,000 amplification DDoS attacks per day.
Guest Post: Volumetric DDoS attacks have scaled back a bit in sheer size, but continue to increase in frequency.
Guest Post: Be prepared! Get to know the facts about amplification DDoS attacks.
Relatively minor changes to recursive resolvers could make a significant difference to the operation of the DNS as a whole.
We don’t have to accept that the DNS has to be a victim of DDoS attacks.
APNIC is supporting ISC to incorporate code changes to BIND, its open source DNS software, to help reduce the load on DNS root servers.
Guest Post: New research shows that network operators cannot simply rely on the size of the IPv6 address space to hide open DNS resolvers.
