Questions:
What is the granularity of the isolation? Do you isolate the entire
subnet or just the IP address?
JS: We block the subnet. At some point we may be able to block the host,
attacker's address or just one port that the attack is using.
JR: May be possible to block traffic on the Ethernet card
How does your state diagram deal with multiple block messages?
JS: It goes back to the start state.
Do you flag boundary controllers out on the interface?
JS: It won't get a blocked message from the Internet
DOB: While an attack is starting, what happens if there's congestion
on the A-C-B link?
Source routing after attack is in progress through E-D-B
JR: It may look like two independent attacks on the state diagram, but
the end result will be the same.
DOB: What about the notion of what state the node is in and an attack
that takes place over time?
DOB: There may be race conditions.
NP: Can you go through an entire sequence of an attack and trace it
through?
