Did the Spamhaus DDoS Really Slow Down Global Internet Access?
CowboyRobot writes "Despite the headlines, the big denial of service attack may not have slowed the Internet after all. The argument against the original claim include the fact that reports of Internet users seeing slowdowns came not from service providers, but the DDoS mitigation service CloudFlare, which signed up Spamhaus as a customer last week. Also, multiple service providers and Internet watchers have now publicly stated that while the DDoS attacks against Spamhaus could theoretically have led to slowdowns, they've seen no evidence that this occurred for general Internet users. And while some users may have noticed a slowdown, the undersea cable cuts discovered by Egyptian sailors had more of an impact than the DDoS."
Don Newton (probably Thor Schrock himself, or a pal of his, no doubt), can YOU answer my questions for me then?
See, little "FYI" for you:
Thor S. here has been "trashing" me, by listing a ware I wrote years ago as a "malware" on some list he maintains!
(& he won't answer any questions, because honestly?? I think Thor Schrock is another "wannabe" w/ out a degree in this field, much less years to decades of actual hands on experience in it is why - else, why avoid simple questions like these?)
Thor S. apparently doesn't have a clue really, & only "spits back what others state" online, & with no real thought or analysis of his own - otherwise, he could answer my questions, in a split second, period.
Case in point:
My ware has NO harmfulness to it, whatsoever, in & of itself/by itself (what users do with it however? That nobody can control)
So, thus my question to Thor Schrock - I wonder, does he list PING.EXE or psexec.exe?? They are BOTH capable of destructive uses also.
SO, BOTTOM-LINE:
Again - Where on earth did Thor Schrock get his data from & how did he make his decision here on why to list my ware as a malware?
He won't answer, because it will implicate his sources (or, himself) in libelling myself. That's ok, I can use that type of resistance to my advantage, eventually, & mark my words, I will.
No, Thor Schrock & CA will be in for a surprise eventually I would say...
Put it THIS way:
I am doing as I was instructed by legal counsel in fact, & pursuing this with CA, for now, playing by "their rules" - like they are the "lords of the internet", lol, far FROM it in fact!
E.G.-> Overall, their 'security suite'?
SUCKS!
I.E./E.G.-> They were taken out of my place of employ in fact, because of the problems in the mail filters, & oddly, lol, Mr. Greg Jensen the product mgr. for it @ CA even said my mails were caught in that faulty piece of junk - funny part is? The company I referred to?? Is a reseller/partner of CA's... lol, & WE didn't even want to use their stuff!)
APK
P.S.=> CA has been listing my ware online as a malware since 2004, & under a DIFFERENT name than my own, using my middle name, so I would not find it online in that timeframe... they're trash, imo, for that alone.
(Also - CA too won't divulge their sources when asked either, or answer the same questions I asked Thor here above)
I wonder, was it Thor Schrock they got their info. from?
Be silent, but time's on MY side... apk
