Hungry --- they haven't built an isp that can withstand all attacks. If attacks can crash the isp's for the Pentagon, White House, Microsoft, anything can crash
Pentagon isn't exactly teh best example of a secured network...
At least parts of it.
A Britisch 'hacker' got caught when he was looking for UFO evidence on Pentagon servers. All he had to do was look for blank passwords.
So some parts of the Pentagon have lousy protection.
May the pips be with you.

My feed got stuck at 8:30 EST, just in time for the trade balance news release. I get the feeling there is more to this. It's just a hunch, but for the feed to continually go down right before a news release every other day now. Anybody else have a problem today?

I can't believe it happened again. If I am not mistaken, an ISP can guarantee their services against a DDOS attack. They have to pay a premium for that service, but most ISPs provide that service. If someone can confirm this, I think it would speak volumes of what NF is really all about. If there are ISPs that can provide their service without the threat of a DDOS attack and NF did not choose one, that says that they are not as concerned as we need them to be about our money, in my opinion. Can someone confirm this?
I can confirm that ISPs wouldn't dare make such a statement. As a security guy, I can tell you that you can't stop DDOS's... sure, you can do some crafty things at the packet header level, but at the end of the day, you really can't stop a denial of service...
