The Linux Journal has an article on dealing with distributed denial of service attacks. "What about getting the Feds involved? In the GRC.com case I mentioned above, the FBI was totally uninterested. Of course, this case occurred in May 2001. It seems that the new Department of Homeland Security is somewhat more interested in such things. Then again, this is the same outfit that sat on the recent Sendmail vulnerability for two+ months. Hackers everywhere are justifiably skeptical."
