Re: Is attbi throttling kazaa/grokster in Sacramen
said by ssj4_android:
I don't believe any DOS would be doing that. I'm remember that ATT is in an agreement to try to stop P2P.
You don't believe that the RIAA or any member of the music industry would do such a thing? Yet you choose to believe that ATT would?
"Create a DoS attack for Morpheus/Kazaa is quite simple. In fact, only the connections made from other users with the same application can be regulated and detected from the client. Anonymous connections (directly at 1214/tcp port) cannot be detected even by most personal firewalls such Zone Alarm, 'cause Morpheus/Kazaa needs to be in totally "Allowed zone" to open connections to outside sources. This "architecture" let's us flood this little web server with HTTP requests, in order to use all the available bandwidth and block Internet access on the target host. Each connection, in fact, will generate a socket in "TIME_WAIT" status on 1214/tcp port(visible with a simple NETSTAT command on the target host) that will cause the saturation of net resources."
So says "The Jackal" (edited a little for spelling)
