It's not a lack of knowledge. It's a lack of time and resources.
I have a full time job that gets increasingly busy in the summer. I have commitments all this weekend. I have a trip coming up that I leave for very soon that will put me away for a week. The timing of all of this shit happening is the worst it could possibly be.
Look up DNS Amplification attack, and you guys will see just how little there is that I can do about it myself. No amount of equipment I put on my side of our data center drop will help line saturation. It's up to our data center. I'm seeing what they are willing to do, as well as their upstream providers (Level3).
We used to have DDoS protection. It's one of the reasons that we moved to the data center we're at now. But then they decomissioned the device and decided to not replace it, so now we're stuck in the data center without mitigation. If there's nothing they can do to stop this then we're looking at literally a month or two for us to find and move to a data center that can.

Ah. Now all of you conspiracy theorist can put their "duping" conspiracies to rest. This attack isn't exploiting the game. It is exploiting the TCP/IP stack.
Rogean, it sounds like this attack is affecting other hosted customers at your ISP? If so maybe they will actually do something about it.
