  1. Most famous [D]DOS attacks were against Webservers on IETF To Develop Anti-DoS ICMP · · Score: 1
    1. Never heard about DOS attack against LDAP server :-))). Most FTP servers have limited number of users and DOSing them is no problem but nobody cares. HTTP is vulnerable because of it's public nature.
    2. Most big web-servers are dedicated.
    3. You can not prevent public services from being abused by legal requests as you can not prevent me from posting you 30Kg of potatoes. DOS attacks usually use ill-formed requests which we can get rid of.
    4. There're only a few web-server programs available (mostly apache :-)) and modifying them is no problem.
    5. Undating web servers is much more easy than changing all routing because web servers are being updated frequently anyway (we can use ipv6 transition for routing however).
    6. Changes take effect immediately, not in 18 months.

  2. All we need is changing the way servers work... on IETF To Develop Anti-DoS ICMP · · Score: 1

    Discarding all incomplete requests can solve most problems. One packet is enough for almost any http request. Oh yeah I know there're long cgi-bin requests but these could be handled somehow different.

    Here's some english-russian dictionaries:
    1. Infoart - my favorite;
    2. Multilex - slower but larger.
    Do not slashdot them - I need 'em for my work. Do not try to enter transliterations of russian words (like Zvezda from Çâåçäà) there - this would not work. You can try english words however.

    Here's some translations:

    1. Zvezda (Çâåçäà)==star
    2. Zarya (Çàðÿ)==dawn
    3. Mir (Ìèð) is either world or peace. There were two different words before grammatic reform ~100 years ago. BTW AFAIK L.Tolstoy in his Voyna e Mir (Âîéíà è Ìèð) meant not "War and Peace" but "War and World, Society".
    4. Baykonur (Kazakh, not Russian) said to mean "BIG, brown, pinguid land".

    If you want to see russian graphics in this message, ensure you read it in Cyrillic Windows-1251 encoding so what Xx looks like Õõ. (If you've got correct fonts.)

  13. Think About It This Way... on New Tech In Data Retrieval · · Score: 1
    To recover this I'd take a device measuring the density of dye on a paper (some kind of spectrophotometer) and scan the sheet with it. Knowing the patterns you used I'd just substract them from scanned image and restore original data.

    Same for magnetic media - as we know how each pass alters state of the media, knowing all the patterns we could try to invert the operation.

    Obviously signal to noice ratio would decrease with each pass, but introducing some randomness (artificial noise) into patterns will make this process more controllable and faster.

    I think the best solution is a special random patterns: one should have a [mathematical] set of optimal patterns and choose one of them at random every time.

    The only use of IP-address location information is ranging banners for browsers.

  16. You probably confused 2.88M with XDF format on Sony Announces Upcoming 1.3GB CD Products · · Score: 1
    XDF is a usual floppy with less control data on it and thus capable of storing ~1.8 megs. IBM used it for OS/2 distributions since version 3. It requires no special drive.

    Maybe IBM used 2.88M before, but I hardly believe it had different distributions for different types of floppies.

    MS is the only company using such dirty tricks as defending advertisements "signed by 240 academic figures". This very reminds me former USSR - it's leaders practiced such things as "blame by working masses". Open letter by soviet writers against Solgenitcyn is an example; there are many others. Do you know such a term as "enemy of people" by Stalin? Not of nation or state, but of people, of every last one. MS everytime trys to show everyone hurting MS as hurting the whole industry, damn'em.
