O'Reilly Revisits Online Countermeasures

An anonymous reader writes "I just saw that late last night an editor at O'Reilly published a blog that takes a look at 'countermeasures' and 'striking back' technologies a year after a startup in Austin, TX published a white paper on the subject that caused a lot of controversy. It also links to a blog by Symbiot founder William Hurley's entitled: Self Defending Networks, Aggressive Network Self-Defense, and Vigilantes on the net. which IMHO is a damn interesting read (even though I'm personally at odds with people who want to 'strike back')."

Low on actual information

If you read the actual blog, it doesn't really contain any information or opinion or whatever. One of the comments on the blog provides more useful information - for older and more informative papers go here: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/security/2004/08/0 3/symbiot.html and http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/security/2004/03/10/sy mbiot.html
