Blake and cisc0ninja to Present at Defcon 22
Blake and cisc0ninja have been selected to present a talk, "Don't DDoS Me Bro: Practical DDoS Defense", at Defcon 22. This will be Blake's fourth time presenting at Defcon and cisc0ninja's first. This talk will cover various strategies for defending your network against layer 7 (mostly web) DDoS attacks. If you're going to Defcon and like SX, make sure to make it. The two of them have agreed to use a number of humorous attack logs (such as the DESU attack) from soldierx.com. This will actually be the first defensive talk to come out of SX. Source code for SX's RoboAmp will also be publicly released. The announcement hasn't made it's way to the Defcon 22 Speaker page yet, but should soon.
Funny enough, we saw our largest DDoS in months today - which lead to us temporarily blocking TOR (as well as some other networks). Not sure if the two are related, but it's interesting to think about.
