My Spark is still sparking, but DNS is shot.

Moi?

I'm sick of always hearing how fantastic Telecom is/was and how bad Vodafone is/was.

Isn't' it great when the shoe is on the other foot? :)

1383321 2014-09-06 05:39:00 I reckon Spark are still reverting to the old habits of denial and bullsh1t regarding what's truly going on.

Their sory is that it's from a few of their users machines with malware installed that is doing a tremendous volume of uploads, in a DNS attack.

However, unless the DNS attack is specifically aimed at their (Sparks) DNS servers only, then every other ISP could be expected to have a similar number of users machines forming an attack on their own DNS servers... which doesn't seem to be the case.

And how hard is it to set up a few rules to block access to machines spamming the DNS? Just log the IP of every machine accessing the DNS. Any with more than 100 hits in a 10 second interval get their connection reset. Problem largely solved - at least from my limited understanding.
