Well, as i live in Russia i see that all the way. As i have some friends
developing anti-DDOS solutions who need to stay in touch with current
situation , they often rely on DDOSers crowd insider information, i see
even more. As next elections are near, i see DDOS being used quite often as
political instrument, there is always some black market burst before
elections.

Virtualization is proven to be not safe, as virtual device drivers are
not written with security in mind. So the physical separation (remember,
"VLAN is not a security feature") does the thing proper and seems to be
the only solution.

Unfortunately Mirabilis is not very coopeative when it comes to
fighting spam and abuse :-(

Anyways, icq acceess is easy to anonymise.. _Especially_ if you
do have your own botnet. When it comes to getting the money, there
is e-gold who is still in operation despite it is known to be the easiest
way to launder e-money.

Well, i'd better choose the insurance company who asks in firewall-wizards
for and advice how to secure things over one that does the same things silently
presumably the wrong way ;-))

sadly this very common, one of those "providers" tried to infiltrate my
IRC server already once by setting up loads of bot channels.
and it seems they don't even have to fear consequences. I found the
source of the bots, on their website they explicitly offer botnets for
rent.....it's an european host, and when I complained I didn't even got
a reply.
I guess it's not good to post the link, but if an >official< is
interested let me know.

Any of you out there with companies willing to hire me to play WOW all
day, I'm certainly interested. And willing to telecommute to lower costs
all around.

Thanks,

[snip]

It's not the "asking here" that's the issue for me. It's the
impression I get that his management is bound and determined to do this
regardless of the potential security issues. I get the impression the
PO has already related to management his concerns, and they intend to
proceed nonetheless. It seems to me he's asking here out of
desperation.

Or perhaps I'm reading it wrong?

Jim
