Hi Paul, So is DDoS attacks biggest security threat out there? It seems to be a big problem. Especially for e-commerce and data warehousing/management systems where uptime = $$. So no one has developed effective countermeasures against arbitrary DDoS attacks? I guess if there was a large enough concerted attack that some group could even overload an entire ISP or an Internet backbone? Do we need laws to give law enforcement/ISPs more power to solve this.
