This isn't a proposal to stop all DDoS. That's some crazy feature creep you're suggesting.
Look, if the purpose is to stop all DDoS, legislating IoT devices won't solve that problem either.
You seem to be disqualifying a solution to attacks on DNS because it doesn't solve a problem we aren't trying to solve.
I don't get it.
- tptacek 10y agoSorry. Reset. What problem are we trying to solve, and why that problem next?
- jwtadvice 10y ago> What problem are we trying to solve? The problem where DNS providers, such as Dyn, are taken down, leading to outages to large swaths of the internet. > Why that problem next? The recommendation to tackle this problem next is the topic of discussion. Namely, the DDoS letter to Chairman Wheeler. The letter inappropriately confuses fixing this recent outage/attack on DNS with preventing IoT devices from being compromised. My proposal (the high level comment) is to fix the problem being discussed by fixing DNS (making it difficult, as a core internet service, from being DDoSed).
