Hosting company ‘Watching America’ are currently under a sustained (two days and counting) denial-of-service attack and as a result various blogs may be hard or impossible to access as a result. Consider this a public service announcement. Methinks some lynchings are in order.
So if you want to know how to design a computer chip, I’m your man, but this software stuff is a bit over my head.
Perry et. al.
If a computer suffers a DOS attack, doesn’t the incoming message have a source address attached?
If so, why can’t the computer respond in kind? I would suspect that a DOS probably utilizes multiple attacks from the same source address, so why not respond to it if the count goes above…say four?
I may be simplistic on this but if a battleship can launch a return salvo to incoming, why can’t a computer?
thanks for any insight and if you want, I could respond with some chip design insights (especially DRAM design)
