      Was nach den DDoS Attacken des Frühjahrs 2000, deren  
Urheber noch immer nicht ausgeforscht sind, kommen wird,  
hat die so genannte RFC2267 DDoS Working Group gestern  
in Atlanta diskutiert. Konkret befürchtet wurde eine neue  
Angriffswelle, wieder als ganz normaler Netzverkehr getarnt.

Computer security experts are taking a bite out of distributed  
denial of service (DDoS) attacks, but more devastating  
attacks are on the horizon. 
 
That was the message from a consortium of computer  
security executives who met during NetWorld+Interop Atlanta  
2000. In addition, dozens of vendors exhibited products  
involving security and network forensics, many targeted at  
stopping, tracking, and tracing hackers. 
 
The industry group, known as the RFC2267 DDoS Working  
Group, was formed in response to a number of high-profile  
companies whose networks were bombarded with extremely  
high volumes of traffic. They say there is still no bulletproof  
answer to halting the attacks, but the group of security  
experts and DDoS victims are working toward a solution. 
... 
Early DDoS techniques were built on easy to use tools but  
more advanced methods use covert communication channels  
that are harder to track, said Allen Wilson, director of X-Force  
countermeasures at Internet Security Systems Inc., Atlanta.  
He said he foresees a wave of new and more devastating  
attacks disguised as legitimate traffic. Staged attacks and  
periodically revolving zombies are another threat.
