I think it was hydro that said, Find a few IP's that are sending attacks, Most likely they are SYN, ICMP, PING, and other forms of malformed data..

Once you got a few IP's of the ones that have sent a decent size amount of data that dont look like "surfers" go buy a copy of eEye Retina Scanner, Hell you might just hire them guys they are in Cali, Bunch of odd colored hair, pierced of hacker nerds that own a good company..

They write some of the finest white papers on exploits..

To say this costs MONEY to make this attack is utter bullshit, Back when a "ddos bot" was popular before the creator got arrested AGOBOT aka PhatBot it had some exploits in it for spreading that didnt even have white papers on so they was unheard of and they wasnt being fixed, I remember him unleasing that bastard and he would pull in 100k computers world wide in a day, They didnt site on a irc server like most kiddies bots they would network via p2p..

100,000 Computers with a 3mb cable could throw damn close to 3750GB's of traffic at you, Now 100,000 is usally a small number for people that deal in ddos bots, spammers are good sources of ddos bots because you can use them for proxies and sell the proxies in lists because they are stable..

Now rule out another; Have you banned any big time spammers from your program lately? Because if a spammer is big enough you bet your ass he has a botnet himself thats good sized or he has friends that has botnets..

I've seen 200,000 drones of pure T1's ONLY for ddos purposes.. And these was just some younger kids in the teens 16 at most playing with this shit, They play around with this shit and when they get so many they divide up the good speed ones and use them for warez dumps or what not..

Use 200k drones on T1's to spit at your serves thats going to send a shit storm..

Remember the CNN Attacks? Those werent done for any money reason it was just some kids that have way to much time to play with on summer vacation..

Sorry if this post leads off and on in diffrent directions just typing as i think..

If you would like some help on trying to track them down i can do my best...

Cheers.
