Has anyone else noticed the dearth of technical information about these attacks? Although some of the largest web sites, and networks have been hit, I still haven't read a confirmed description of exactly what is happening. Its been three days. After the Morris Worm, by this point in time I had seen several technical descriptions and even portions of decompiled code. And I was just an interested Internet user in those days. In this case I still haven't seen confirmation if it was trino, tfn, something new, or what. Or even confirmation if it was a series of HTTP GETs or random packets, or some interesting corruption of a packet. Or if confirmation the attacks are coming from the same set of hosts or different ones for each attack. If it is the same set of IP addresses, could we RBL (or create a new RBL) them? Maybe I'm just on the wrong mailing lists.
