[MUD-Dev] DDoS



Some IRC maintainers are talking about dropping the service because of
denial of service attacks (DoS), the equivalent of link-spamming.  There
is also something called a distributed DoS (DDoS), which means that the
attack comes from more than one source, maybe thousands of sources. Thus
blocking the attack is difficult.

I wonder what you guys are doing to protect yourself from this.  Have
you thought about how much damage a banned phreak could cause you? Maybe
even put you completely out of business?

(I have some vague ideas that may reduce the DoS problem, but none that
are
definitive...)
