ICANN discusses DNS Root Server Denial of Service Attack
I'm sure you've been wondering what really happened during the DNS DDoS attack last February. The ICANN has put out an easy to read document on what they think happened to the DNS infrastructure during this event.
It's a straightforward document that talks about the Anycast system that was designed to minimize an attack of this kind (along with the reason we have 13 DNS root servers), and most interestingly, how this attack may have occurred and what country /region this attack may have originated from.
Last but not least are recommendations to fortify the DNS system moving forward.
