eBay and the DoS thread

Sat May 4 03:14:19 UTC 2002

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly shame eBay, who decided 
to fire one of their engineers for disclosing their "proprietary" methods 
for defending against DoS in the recent NANOG thread.

The only appropriate punishment for a company with its head so far up
its proverbial poop chute to prevent the sharing of simple recommendations 
on DoS prevention with the networking community is that all useful, 
intelligent, and responsable people consider their policies carefully 
before working there.
