It is no secret that DDoS is a growing problem and can cost companies millions of dollars. Anyone from mom and pop shops to large corporations to even ISPs can become the target of DDoS for the purpose of extortion, revenge, censorship, or a vareity of other reasons. However, no matter the motivation, DDoS is a crime, and a crime that is notoriously difficult to prosecute for. No definitive guide exists on how to collect information, what information to get, or even the proper authorities to contact. This presentation will outline how and what information to collect, who to give it to, and raise some important questions about how to deal with DDoS effectively within our community.
