DDoS and Botnet Test Methodology Released

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have become an enormous risk, shutting down businesses, halting bank transactions and disrupting government communications. Yesterday, BreakingPoint hosted a webcast diving into many of the issues surrounding DDoS and botnet attacks and what people can do to prepare. The main lesson? Test, test and test! I've included the webcast below, slides and audio, the discussion was highly informative, so take a look.

Additionally, we have just published the BreakingPoint DDoS and Botnet Test Methodology, which details, step-by-step, how to replicate a variety of DDoS and botnet attacks to help you find weaknesses before others do. We encourage you to download the test methodology today and certainly let us know your thoughts.
