  1. But will it let the good stuf through? by vrassoc · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I accept that a tool such as this can successfully detect and stop DOS attacks, but is it clever enough to allow for legitimate spikes? If anything, I think that the real challenge is in sorting the binary wheat from the chaff and while the article does make mention of this factor, it doesn't say that normal traffic spikes were ignored and allowed to complete their transactions during an attack.
