Just drop the www.sco.com DNS record, as they did... this particular worm goes after the URL, not the IP it usually had. >nslookup www.sco.com *** can't find www.sco.com: Non-existent domain >nslookup www.caldera.com Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.caldera.com Address: 216.250.128.12 Rubens ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: "Rubens Kuhl Jr." <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 9:09 PM Subject: Re: Did Wanadoo, French ISP, block access to SCO?

Umm,, I'll bite. If www.sco.com and www.caldera.com are on the same IP, how do you create a DDoS that wouldn't take out the Caldera site as well? A sheer-traffic DDoS will hurt both. A synflood will hurt both. The webserver that's listening on port 80 doesn't know which site is being connected to until it actually reads in the HTTP/1.1 headers and looks at the Host: tag - and if there's enough things arriving with 'Host: www.sco.com', it will require some *very* creative filtering/limiting to keep one website working while the other is down....
