How can I protect my systems and networks from DoS/DDoS attacks?
Generally speaking good security practices are the best long term protection. Disabling all unnecessary services, keeping software up to date, and subscribing to various email security lists will help. Having a current list of contact names and numbers for emergencies will be especially useful during an emergency. Thre is no one thing you can do to stop DoS/DDoS attacks (i.e. no “Anti DoS attack verion 1.0” software, despite what some vendors claim). http://all.net/journal/netsec/0004.html http://www.cert.
