The Nasty Neighbor Attack: DDOS and OOB social vectors

That may be true with regard to the human real world actors that dirvine mentioned, or endpoint malware users accidentally put on their own machines due to unknown factors. As far as safe network technology goes, I disagree. It’s possible. Secure access for everyone.

It is a fine article… I know it adds a layer of complexity but why not random proxies that redirect to the elders? Following the IP to a host that is randomly called would be harder to nail down. Also, may be able to create a software DDoS appliance to filter out such attacks… Switches do it all the time. I digress… I know little about how this would work in SN…

This used to be in the networks design but I’m pretty sure proxies were removed because it resulted in high latency, traffic, complexity. AFAIK. Wish it made sense though just as a precaution.
