Internet Storm Center Tracks Hack Attacks

An Anonymous Coward writes: "It looks like Incidents.org has a new offspring, the Internet Storm Center. The internet storm center uses data from DShield.org to track hack attacks all over the world. Some of the interesting trivia: While usually, China has a bad reputation for the volume of attack coming from it, the US outpaces China by a lot. Actually, China only comes in at #6. So much for the great security boost the US gets from using genuine Microsoft software."

    This reminds me of the Internet Weather Report, which I've only found to be useful when genius contruction crews disrupt a backbone with a backhoe.

    I think the most useful aspect with for this could be a combination of the hack attack report and the internet weather report to see whether a server is simply suffering from technical issues or is being DOS'ed.
