Who has had the largest DOS attacks?

[TechBoyJK]

I know Yahoo and Google have seen some biggies, and that the government of Pakistan had some biggies coming from India. Anybody else know of other organizations that have been big targets?

SCO is the company trying to sue everyone/force everyone to pay them to license Linux

Pakistan was seeing 200-300Meg attacks at one time. How does that compare to the others?

Yup, Gibson Research Corp. has been the target of at least 3 major DDOS attacks. One was very serious. They still have write ups about them on the site.

I would feel bad about that one, except that Steve Gibson deserves all the $|<r1p7 k1d|)13 q0wN@g3 that gets handed to him. He knows as much about network security as my ass knows about putting up stovepipes.

yeah, well the attack on 2 of 4 root(I forget the specifics) servers essentially turned the internet off

 

[TechBoyJK]

how much bandwidth did it take to do that? I thought there were 7 roots.

That?s funny I tried to get to the spybot website today at work and couldn?t get $h!t, guess that?s why.
