Admittedly, discussions about how to mitigate a botnet are less on topic than
discussing how to fix a BGP wedgie. On the other hand, it's very hard to
launch a DDoS big enough to need mitigating unless you have a botnet to launch
it from. Even Mafiaboy knew that one.
So if you get rid of the botnets, you get rid of the 2AM alerts that a DDoS is
in progress. And 2AM alerts are operational, at least in my book.
