This talk will examine the tools, methods and data behind the DDoS attacks that are prevalent in news headlines. Using information collected, the speaker will demonstrate what attackers use to cause their mischief and mayhem and examine the timeline and progression of attackers as they move from the historical page defacers to the motivated DDoS attacker. We'll also look at motivations and rationale to detect patterns and build better protections.
