Huh???

Calum:
what he is saying, after careful consideration of his post, is that someone should start up a website where people can go to find out the details of any script kiddie action that is going on. basically you can go there and find out what sites are down, why, who did it and how to retaliate and sort it out quickly. EG if a DDoS happens, all the people who can't access the site would think 'aha! i'll just go to that website about script kiddies', then they'd go there and the info on which ip addresses were responsible and so on would be posted there and those people could then go into action.

X11 then goes on to say that he would willingly admin such a site however he does not have the capability to host it, due to lack of bandwidth. he then goes on to say that many forum members could do this as they do have the bandwidth but that he is not even going to ask them to as he believes that they would refuse to host this site.

ah! (deep breath out)...

well that's what i think X11 is saying anyway!

You can be rest assured it was not at you, i have no interest in starting a flame war so i will not name the people, but some people here are all for themselfs. But i will not mention, there is one who might do it but im not mentioning who that is because im sure slashdot has more people.

I believe he is talking about me. I will not let him have any space on my machine on my Cable connection for a web site. Are you talking about me?

Back on the topic of DDoS. You know if all the ISPs in the world had their routers properly configured DDoS attacks would no longer exist. Cisco has written papers about how to properly filter the type of traffic used in DDoS which will not effect normal activity. I recall reading these articles 2 or 3 years ago..

Wouldn't the site have to be VERY adopted by everyone? And wouldn't that give another reason for script kiddies to do this? "Check is out homie G wigga, I made the top list on i-really-dislike-script-kiddies-that-do-ddos-attacks.com!"

Here's one article from a couple of years ago but I don't believe it was the exact one I read:

But of course this requires ISPs and businesses to actually configure their router rather than just taking it out of the box and plugging in T1 lines. It's so sad...
