Kami, I saw Robert yesterday, and I asked him if I'd hurt his feelings, he said "yes". Robert and I go back, there was a time (ustream launch) where we well, didn't coordinate on news. He's truly a friend, and someone I respect as a media trailblazer --but I need to get everything coordinated. To be clear, he was on the list of folks I'd brief in detail --others just got cursory info.

So they want the publicity you can bring but want to control the timing and message. I would be inclined to not agree as well. Sounds like you are being used.
- Brian Sullivan
I hear news all the time about people who aren't necessarily friends but would generally want the news quiet - does this mean I should start leaking those details? I'm not sure the right answer to that. The problem though is often the way I hear about that information is through other friends who were trusted to keep the info private. Is it worth betraying the trust of those friends as well?
- Jesse Stay
The problem comes maybe when you are "friends" with everybody but also are trying to be a legitimate reporter at the same time. We criticize television and newspaper reporters for this all the time but tech reportage seems to get a pass.

There is no defense against Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. The bad guys can always throw more bandwidth at the attack than you can.

Can a DoS attack be traced?

The datacenter really needs to handle this in their routers and packet filtering. Expecting web sites to deal DDOS attacks won't work.

Just tuning in right now - is Twitter down from a DOS attack?
- Dean "Karnatos" Michaud
Twitter (web) is back up.
- Dave "Freedom 35"
A DOS is very hard to trace since it's typically done with a zombie network. And you can't route your way out of a DOS attack.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
There are ways to defend against DDOS attacks. Generally, you run out of CPU before you run out of bandwidth.
- Wirehead
No, there really isn't any way to defend against a DOS these days.
- Alex Scoble

A lot are accomplished with broadcast and other techniques that can be stopped at the router.
- Todd Hoff
I disagree, Alex.
- Mistletoe Glen

- Kelby
And as pointed out by Mashable - the trending topics on twitter were "Tweet Created" and "Twitter Zombies"

- abdellah
DoS attacks can be traced, but are rarely used, Distributed DoS attacks originate from so many different points there is no point in tracing the sources
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Well, you want to see how good your DOS defenses are? Put up a website saying "Our systems are able to withstand a DOS attack so do your best" and see what happens. :)
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Entities having large zombie nets are difficult to defeat in a DDoS attack. Unless you're the ISP, they have more than you do.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Google is probably very DDOS resistant because of how distributed their stuff is, but most places can't duplicate that defense. And it's possible for a zombie net to be able to chew up more bandwidth than an ISP has
- Alex Scoble
from IM
And I guarantee you that friendfeed is just as vulnerable to a DOS attack as Twitter is.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
And you'll notice that I'm not differentiating between DOS and DDOS, because a DDOS is a DOS and is now the most common type of DOS.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Alex - that worries me the most about FF. :)
- phil baumann
Depends on the class of DOS, but bandwidth exhaustion DDOS attacks are certainly one of the hardest to defend one's self from.
- ax0n
I suggest you all take the time to tour the rest of the Internet! Remember there's more than AOL...I mean Twitter out there!
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Yeah, ax0n, that's what I'm saying. :)
- Alex Scoble
from IM
I don't give two poos about Twitter being down - but broadly speaking, can't good IPSes doing packet inspection mitigate this shit (if the attack is not too high-octane in its own available bandwidth, that is.) Although as Wirehead said, you'll be melting CPUs before anything else, I'd think.
- Anthony Citrano
Here is some research. http://nms.lcs.mit.edu/papers... I'm not fond of words such as impossible, or technical discussion that lacks technical detail.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Well, let's just say it's a lot harder for a service provider to make it impossible to do a DDOS than it is for an attacker to make it impossible to use your service. :)
- Alex Scoble
from IM
I can't post a new thread on FF - ERROR!
- Liza
But yes, the title of this thread should be "For most of the world, there is no defense..." Large organizations like Google can do some things to defend against DOS attacks, like run behind distributed server farms...but 99.9% of the world is not Google.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Then again, this is probably why a lot of people are interested in cloud computing. If distributed systems are the best defense for a DOS, then cloud computing would be a great way to run public web based services.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
If these DDOSes are coming from zombie machines, those machines are probably prone to infection, which means you need your own botnet to attack the zombies and install your own botnet software on them. Whoever makes a botnet that uses DDOSes as a way to find more machines will eventually grow the biggest botnet out there. ;)
- Amit Patel
Heh yeah, and you are starting to see more sophisticated zombie attacks that harden the zombies that they take over to make it harder for other zombie attackers to take over their zombie nets.
- Alex Scoble
just boot your machine in safe mode with networking and run Spybot Search & Destroy, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and your anti-virus scans - if it's not cleaned out by that then you might as well re-install windows (which is a good idea from the start since you never really know if you got rid of any rootkits) sometimes it's quicker to reinstall windows than to go through all that
- Chris Heath
Yeah, that doesn't defend you from a DDOS attack though. That just cleans out malware if your PC has become a zombie and is part of a DDOS attack. :)
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Actually there are companies that sell protection against DDoS. It works.
- Leo Laporte
Agree with @Jason here is another link to share for DDoS Attack/Defense Taxonomies http://www.lasr.cs.ucla.edu/ddos.... I think the key to remember is that the DDoS attacks evolve over time. I can see even clouds being vulnerable in that conceivably one can use linked clouds to launch large enough attacks to overwhelm a single vendors ability to scale. Has not happened yet but possible.
- Altan Khendup
There is tremendous vulnerability if they can take Twitter down.
- rob
Twitter just isn't that large, or that distributed. I'm impressed if they can take down Facebook, or Google. (it seems that Facebook was suffering at the same time, and my suspicion is from the same attack - but maybe not)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Does anyone know at this point who is responsible for the attack? This would require a huge bot-net and some serious bandwidth.
- Angus Burton
Great FF conversation here about outages, cause, impacts, etc. ----> http://ff.im/6fF0t
- Susan Beebe
Yeah, Alex... I was commenting in reference to the hardening of the zombies
- Chris Heath
There is a defense, employing a network element which can route around obstacles: carrier pigeons. http://crankypm.com/2009...
- DGentry
There's a denial of service attack that can be used against pigeons...requires a shotgun and someone who knows how to use it :)
- Alex Scoble
from IM
DGentry: There's a follow up to that IP over Carrier Pigeon, IP over Tanks. Paint the 0s and 1s on the side of a tank turret, and such. Helps to defeat Alex's DoS attack on the pigeons. At least to DoS it you need a bigger gun ;)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Chris Heath: more simple way of defeating rootkits: Run the machine as a Virtual Machine, and always roll back to a clean snapshot on reboot. I've employed that method for a long time. Defeats rootkits, viruses, stupid users, and all that. Works for any OS you can run in the VM.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Still not 100% effective. There are ways to take control of the host machine that is running a VM.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Nothing is 100% effective, short of sealing the machine 1 mile underground in a concrete-filled missle silo.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
And FWIW: I have not yet heard any significant news of bare-metal hypervisors (which replace the host OS and which I was referring to above) being compromised (but it will come, or is here already and quiet)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Which breaks rule #1 Must meet business needs
- Alex Scoble
from IM
Ahh, sorry, when you say VM I think of the more traditional VMs running on a traditional OS
- Alex Scoble
from IM
LOL. Yes - but it does make the point of what must be done to truly secure a machine. There is no such thing as 100% security with any remaining functionality
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I mostly meant things like VMWare ESXi (which doesn't even use a traditional OS for management purposes any more. (ESX is a bare-metal hyper visor, but uses a RH variant as a management box)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Yeah, that stuff is pretty sweet.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
And ESXi is free I believe. If the virtual hardware would just run a video game, I'd run everything like that ;)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Great point Rob (bringing up virtualization) -- and for anyone interested in this stuff, Hak.5 has done a lot of virtualization in season 5 http://www.hak5.org/categor... They get into ESX and ESXi in the later half of the season but virtualization is often a topic for one of their segments.

from IM
Granted it's not done remotely yet - http://www.engadget.com/2009...
- Matthew Horton
@Alex Scoble: most DDOS attacks aren't designed to use up your bandwidth - they generally hit others limits a long time before that. The most common type of attack opens up lots and lots of connections to your website at once. That makes your webservers fall over. For added variety some hold the connections open, so they appear just like a slow web browser, making it harder to detect.
- Nick Lothian
Yep, but if an attacker so chooses, they may rent out a botnet from various individuals and jam your internet connections as well.

And Matthew, that keyboard hack is crazy awesome.

Alex, why is it that CERT website dont get DoS'ed ?
- Peter Dawson
Alex - if the virus that's designed to hit the graphics controller doesn't have access to the correct host OS, it's going to write to the VMs graphics controller. Which just won't do much.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Nick: The Blue Pill is an attack on a Windows machine that has virtualization in the processor - it converts the running Windows into a VM and becomes the bare-metal hypervisor on the fly. Using an actual hypervisor defeats that. (though it is a pretty impressive attack)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@guruvan (Rob Nelson): I'm not sure. http://www.zdnetasia.com/news... says "The researchers claimed Xen hypervisors could be subverted by compromising flaws in Xen software to gain access to Domain 0, Xen's privileged administrative domain. Once that administrative domain is compromised, the virtual system controlled by the hypervisor is compromised."

Yep, Chris...the fact there's a pro-Georgian blogger who wrote on all the affected services. Seems all his pages were targetted. A bit more of the Russian/Georgian cyberwar. There's at least a few articles/posts about that across the net. Though, I summarized it at http://geehall1.posterous.com

- Alex Scoble

eh Paul, some of em systems are also vectors for DNS posioning and route hijacking.. ant that a DoS too ?
- Peter Dawson
Peter: Yes, DNS poisoning can be a DoS attack, as well as route hijacking. Typically those are done to deny users access to a given site or service. Occasionally those are used to hijack a service, which has the effect of DoS, but not the primary intention (the primary intention is often to change the message that web site visitors would see, or perhaps to collect sensitive data such as passwords or financial information )
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@GuruVan, " change the message " is more like "man-in-the-middle", thats a totally different vector !!

Not quite Peter. MiTM is usually executed differently than a straight hijacking. (though the data collection I mentioned is usually a MiTM attack)

*sagenod* Warpaint is either camouflage or distraction: depending on the circumstances this color should serve either purpose well in battle.

Cheryl, that's Revelon Matte "In The Red" (color 007, which makes me chuckle). If I put it on lightly it's a bit too pink, but another coat brings it back to brick red. Same thing when it starts to wear off... Feels great for a matte, and no sunscreen so I'm not allergic to it.

As a Mac user I'm upgrading.
- Andrew Smith
To Windows 7? Why not Snow Lepoard?
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Dual boot?
- Cristo
No, I'll wait until I have to buy a new computer anyway and Windows 7 probably come bundled with it.
- Morton Fox
I'm going to make my company upgrade my laptop from the Vista abomination it currently has on it. As for personal stuff, I can't see myself buying Windows 7, since I'm a Mac home.
- Joey Gibson
@Joey How did you even convince them to install Vista? (Not that I'm a Vista-hater, I just don't see the business case for it)
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Waiting to get a new comp doesn't make nearly as much sense moving from Vista to Win7 as it did from XP to Vista, as Win7 is sooo much better than Vista, and runs great on machines that choke on Vista.
- Christopher A Carr
no. after Vista, MS has permanently lost me. i'll use XP Pro until it won't cut it anymore and then move to linux full-time. hopefully there will be more music production apps for it by then.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
Hell Yes! Netbooks will be happy!
- ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
Already there. I haven't booted into XP since I loaded the RC. Smooth sailing so far.
- Adrian
Dead: Win7 is light, clean and stable; it's worth giving a chance -- and I've used Linux almost exclusively for the last couple years.
- Christopher A Carr
Already upgraded, and quite fond of it.
- Roger Benningfield
how is it on older hardware, tho?
- Joe Silence is not Santa
not to mention, i also run alot of "legacy" applications.
- Joe Silence is not Santa
I will. We never upgraded to Vista but we're running the Win 7 RC and it's fantastic.
- joey
Runs great on my 5 year old P4 box with fx5500 graphics and 2 gigs of RAM. And it has an "XP Mode" for "legacy" apps.

Also runs like a champ on my Lenovo s10 netbook with 1 gig of RAM and a 1.7ghz Atom.

@Shey, the laptop came with Vista on it.
- Joey Gibson
Maybe. I'm not liking the price-point.

I'm going milk RC1 until it expires
- Rodfather
@Shey I'll be updating to Snow Leopard and Win7 to dual boot. I still occasionally do some Visual Studio / SQL stuff, have a Zune and some games.
- Andrew Smith
Win7/Linux Mint 7/Snow Leo tri-boot would be sweet.
- Christopher A Carr
I haven't had significant problems with vista, but I'm probably going to put 7 on all my computers.
- Richard Lawler
I avoided the VISTA mess and I may be milking XP until it expires then go to Win 7. I still have 2002 and 2005 projects in VS/SQL Server 2005 running sbs.
- Melanie Reed
I'll most likely upgrade to Windows 7 for my PC and also on my Boot Camp partition.
- Arlan Koizumi
I preordered my windows 7 today.
