"South Korean intelligence officials have said North Korea or North Korean sympathizers are behind the attacks, though so far they have provided no technical evidence supporting their claims."

Oh? ..... "The National Intelligence Service — South Korea's main spy agency — declined to confirm the information. " .... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31789294/ns/technology_and_science-security//

mod_Evasive should be enough to fix this, it's not a new form of denial of service and configurations options exists (and are already built into the webserver) to block it.

Seems to me the webadmin is lax, e.g. www.usfk.mil is still down. It doesn't need an 'emergency cyber response team' to configure a webserver with a feature it already has for a known nuisance!

It seems to me the commercial sites are up and running as normal, but the military sites, like usfk.mil are down. Are they are running around like headless chickens scheduling meetings with cyber response teams and planning strategies and press conferences instead of simply turning on the DDos protection on their webserver?

Get a grip!

Fascinating, where'd they get it?

Mnd_evasive will do squat if the volume of crap exceeds the capacity of your pipe
