DOS Attacks On DNS Provider

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-after-the-big-boys dept.

Greedo writes "Seems like UltraDNS was hit with a denial of service attack this weekend. Since these are the guys who are supposed to be running the .ORG DNS, and in light of recent attacks on the gTLD roots, attacks against DNS servers should be treated very seriously. What kind of protection can be had? What happens when an attack like this brings down an entire TLD? Do you want to give control of an entire gTLD to one organization? Read a follow-up discussion on comp.protoocols.dns.std."

    Hi Girls!

    I'm pleased to anounce that starting from today, you can have sex with me!
    That's right!
    You can sleep with me, the sex god of the 198th century! It is no longer a dream!
    Finally you can have the option of having hot, sweaty and sticky sex with a real man, not those wimpy side-sticking showbots who can tell between a clit and a skin-flap. Finally, you can moan to the night, because you'll have the best treatment. With me.

    So don't wait till you die! Dial now and have an hot orgasm.

    If the root servers can't protect themselves... who CAN protect themselves?
