My traffic has lots of spikes. Some days I download HD video, some days I don't.
If I look at the logs, it's all connections to CDNs with weird hostnames. How do I know which ones are legit and which ones might be part of a DDOS?
Also CC numbers are 16 bytes long, would just get lost in all the noise..
- sp332 14y agoMaybe I should say, spikes in outgoing traffic. The internet is not safe for banking, and I don't see any way it can be made safe.
- leethax0r 14y agoIt is safe for banking. Have you heard of encryption?
- danielweber 14y agoThat is assuming your endpoint is secure. Most people's personal finance is probably safe to do on the Internet because of legal requirements on banks. Small businesses are another matter.
- sp332 14y agoOh, encryption. Why didn't anyone else think of that! Have you noticed the spate of attacks against SSL lately? BEAST, CRIME, Lucky 13, RC4 in general? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAST_%28computer_security%29#BEAST_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BEAST_%28computer_security%29#... Not profitable for some things, maybe, but definitely worth mounting such an attack for banking info. Have you noticed that the certificate authority system is totally broken? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/11/state_of_ssl_analysis/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/11/state_of_ssl_analysi...
