Please contact me offlist, and I will introduce you to the person who =
says the below - they are from $ENORMOUS-ESP, and were deeply involved =
in the efforts during last year's rounds of ransom DDoSs which saw many =
different targets coordinating in fending off the attacks (and working =
with the FBI). The basecamp group to which he refers is the group of =
all of the different NOC and architect folks from the various companies, =
who strategized together, and all of their info is still there. I'm =
familiar with this all as I was part of the coordination efforts, as so =
many of the targets also happened to be customers of ours and, you know, =
lawyer. ;-)
He says:
"I'm happy to invite him to the basecamp if he wants access, just need =
his email.
Otherwise, feel free to share with him that others ended up using =
prolexic OR whatever the other large provider is out there. that seems =
to be the universal solution if they don't want to buy gear and roll =
their own solution. Amazon and Google cloud environments aren't =
impervious from this stuff, but they are getting better, and using some =
of the same technology."
