Does anyone know a URL for technical info on the recent DoS on Yahoo! etc. The reports I've found all refer to "floods of packets", but don't say whether they were TCP SYN or SYN/ACK or what. GlobalCenter, who look after the Yahoo! facilities managed to do something to quell the attack, but it took them a few hours. Anyone know what they did? I use GlobalCenter Melbourne, myself, so I'll ask the techs there if they can find out, too. Can anyone share the steps they have taken to limit the effect of these attacks on their own facilities.
