Hi there

Not sure which forum is best for this. Please move if necessary

There are various forms of (D)DOS against a site, service, or a business from different hostile entities

Without getting into specific forms of (D)DOS against a service, if a perpetrator or perpetrators are identified what sanctions are available in .com and .com.au

Who do we notify. Is it the senior domain authorities, the registrars of the actors engaged in the DOS

What avenues of redress are available

Many thanks
D

Did you use cloudflare for your site?

If yes, you can enable ddos protection from them to proect ddos attacks to your site.

Besides, if you have a dedicated server and they already allowed ddos mitigation then you can use it without using thirty party service.

Hi there

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't so much asking bout the technicalities of DOS protection but what sanctions are available against anyone who engages in one . eg a known domain

Do you through the registrar or the domain authority for that domain extension

Thanks

I will explain

Say you have a web or email service and someone either temporarily or permanently knocks it out that is DOS. There are many ways of achieving it

Suppose also it has been a domain, site, service that has been online for many years even decades and someone suddenly decides they have the right to destroy it. Through any manner of means - all dodgy. That is a DOS. And if enough different parties are involved in many different ways and different places that becomes a DDOS

It does not all have to occur through flooding a router. You can flood people or services, disrupt people in many different ways

Also certain individuals, organisations, groups are powerful enough to do it as a group without sanction

But suppose you know the primary player what sanctions are available. Two examples .com space and .com.au space

Do you need to resort to the law or can we actually do anything through the likes of ICANN, auDA/Afilias etc

Or are we living under some kind of fascism where one good person can be viciously attacked and slandered by a large group and bullied off a service or even out of an industry. But with that level of power, the ability to manipulate forums, lie about emails, interfere with DNS. What can the victim do

What else do they do. Forums are closed off. Places to talk. Even the operators or moderators are sometimes involved in the lies and DOS

PS Hoping it won't happen here if I behave or don't respond to trolling :)
