OK, I admit this title is misleading and designed to draw traffic. OK, I admit it's not designed to draw traffic. It's purpose is to play off an InformationWeek post that does have a title that appears to be designed to draw traffic. DoS Attack Cripples Internet Root Servers by Sharon Guidin obviously leads one to believe that this attack was so big and bad that it crashed the servers and caused wide spread panic. The truth is that it only affected 3 of the DNS servers and they were NOT crippled, they were put into a "slow down" and as Martin McKeay mentioned no one really noticed.
About Me
- Andy, ITGuy
- I've been in IT for 11 years. Sometime in 2000 I became interested in Security and started focusing my career in that direction. I am a CISSP and have a passion for Information Security. I have worked both "In the trenches" and in managerial positions in IT. I started blogging because I wanted to have a place to express my thoughts and opinions on security. Hopefully someone else will gain something from what I have to say.
