I had to look that one up..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

DDoS is short for Distributed Denial of Service. DDoS is a type of DOS attack where multiple compromised systems, which are often infected with a Trojan, are used to target a single system causing a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Unfortunately that kinda crap - port scans, 'dictionary' password attacks etc. - happens continuously on internet-connected devices. The first time looking at server/firewall logs can be really eye-opening for the unfamiliar...

Watching the logs for the public facing mail gateway is a real eye opener too. More than 45% of all emails are SPAM and even more carry some form of malware. I used to manage an email system for a large public hospital. Watching a real time display of the logs (tailing the logs in geek speak) can be both fascinating and hypnotic at times.

Wow Clay your numbers are low, we only process 2% of e-mail, rest gets dropped, and even then I still get people complaining about receiving SPAM.

So what I used to do was pull up the logs and let them know how many SPAM e-mails they got in the last 24hrs, and in order to help use reduce the rates, please allow me to send all of them to you. You mark them as Spam or not, and then let me know.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Never had anyone take me up on that offer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

DDOS attacks are a dime a dozen, and literally cost pennies to get some one to fire one up. Students try and use them all the time against us, try to knock out the testing systems. Give them credit for trying. Not sure why they would pay a few bucks to try and miss a test, when they could just send a crappy tweet, and run the risk of becoming an FBI visit recipient.

When I retire I might have to write a book of all the stupid shiz students do electronically. From bulling to translated bomb threats, I have seen and tracked down all of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) But I will say some of the adults have really freaked me out, and I have had several occasions I did not want to do the research to see if the offense occurred on our equipment.

These are no students. These are coordinated attacks from thousands of hijacked devices from all over the world.

The hackers are probing servers to find a weak target and then try to leverage their attacks to hold a server ransom and extort real world money in exchange for stopping the attack.

We've been through this before ...
