Re: Standards Bodies need notice
I haven't seen you suggest it.
Oh, I found this:
The only solution for this particular issue is a protocol that can stop traffic towards victim at originating ISP level. Not that hard to do really.
Yeah, that totally doesn't require just about every* ISP on the planet to sign up for that, agreeing to some extension of a couple of very basic network protocols, upgrading their software and maybe even their equipment to accommodate that protocol, and figuring out a way to reliably determine which of those millions of network packets are actually malicious.
And never mind that, next to China being a major source of idIoT junk, there's also a lot of networking and telco gear manufactured there.
* If you can't get South American and Asian providers on board you'll have the same problem as with those countries not banning (and enforcing that ban) IoT stuff that essentially hollers "Pwn me!"
