How Cool Ideas beat a "zombie attack"

[SeaSickMama]

Better still all the usual reform school rejects in the CI threads have either retreated back under their respective bridges (nothing to say when they can’t hide behind others), or cancelled with CI; making the user community 100% more pleasant a place to be as well.

Pity the other ISP with threads on here, when these "clients" arrive at the end of the billing month.

That page is so much better; a few months ago after a select few cryers left it’s just been behaving etc

Somehow it just seems like a poor show that the internet hasn't learned how to negate the prospect of DDoS attacks yet.

Q1: What type of DDoS? There are many ...
Q2: How do you fight this when everybody want's cheaper, the resources to fight/mitigate costs money?
Q3: How do you stop people running to cheaper (with lesser protection) if all the nice to mitigate most DDoSs stuff is implemented.
Q4: Why does a user have to pay when it's somebody else's attitude of CCAF about securing his DNS servers, it's not hurting him?

The tech is there, but it's not cheap.

/not associated with CI nor their client. But they have my sympathy.

Not talking about CISP though. Talking about general infrastructure.

I'll agree there. I also hinted at it it in the CCAF (couldn't care a ...) part. There are too many wannabes to outright criminals involved. People also don't learn from lessons past. Right at this moment I'm following the DOH vs DOT debate. Paul Vixie explains why DOH is a bad idea, yet certain interests has driven DOH. Instead of admitting they have an ugly child, it's now in FireFox. Would I want my family's DNS policies to be dictated by CloudFlare while bypassing security checks? No, hell no. Yet here we are. With one ugly change much of the protection on the internet is now moot thanks to FireFox. You now manually have to revert the DOH change.
