Stevens Institute of Technology will get funded by NSF for Defense from Denial of Service Attacks.
It is being reported that the website JustBet.com is under DDoS.
Existing Justbet players who would like to access Justbet’s alternate URL must call 1-800-274-8313 for the backup website. SBR will update when Justbet is back online.
Borrowed from the link in this article, here is something I thought was cool. Its a DDoS script written for slowly, causing DDoS attacks. The script and its description can be accessed here.
Here is what I would call a well-written article on explaining DoS attacks, especially the difference between a network level DoS attack and an Application layer DoS attack.
The article is written by Ryan Barnett is Director of Application Security Research at Breach Security, WASC Distributed Open Proxy Honeypot Project Leader and OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set Project Leader.
It seems even game server administrators sometimes cannot endure rivals. So this game server admin in China decides to do a DDoS to level the competition, only to get arrested himself.
Here is a very entertaining and thought provoking article to read. World War III might not be fought over land, but the digital space, aka, the Internet. Read this here.
From one of the person’s associated with Java.net – a posting on her blog shows that they have been experiencing some DDoS attacks. Not sure which area of the domain is getting the attack, but I am speculating that it would probably be their repository.
Stumbled upon this blog http://nix101.com/ – worth reading. Talks a lot about DDoS and how to mitigate it, no-nonsense reading.
Check out also the rate-limiting script for Apache aptly called BARF! 
The script is here.
I am not sure if this is a first, but it sure seems like a first in the industry. Most service providers who stop DDoS attack, do not provide any detailed logs, IP information, etc. on the attack. Reasons vary from inability to stop all the malicious packets (which might filter through), to secrecy, etc.
However, I think Staminus may have just raised the bar. I just came across their forum post (which is quite old), but I was totally taken back. Staminus is now providing detailed log reports, etc. from the client’s Control Panel.
