The present system of delivering the Internet service is riddled with problems. Denial of service attack is only one prooblem that can't be hidden by the multinational Companies that become a victim of such attack. But the multinational companies will hide the defects in their products or the software that powers their products that could make it possible for hackers to wage such DDOS attacks. Only to-day (July 27, 2005) at the Black Hat Confrence in Las Vegas the Cisco researcher (Michael Lynn) talked about the security flaws in the software powering the Cisco routers and was fired and was served with a restraining order preventing him from talking about the flaw. This is very irresponsible of CISCO. I'll ask every reader of these comments to write to the Cisco CEO John T Chambers to protest the firing and restraining of Michael Lynn asking him not only to hire back Michael Lynn and to vacate the restraining order against Michael Lynn.
The address of Cisco is 170 West Tasman Dr. San Jose, CA 95134-1706
It is important for people to realize that they don't have to put up with the obsolete method of surfing the net. The time has come to develop the server based method of surfing the net as described at NEW ERA WISP that would make DDOS a thing of the Past and people would not have to put up with the silencing of their employees by multinationals like Cisco.
