ICANN Looking for Ideas on How to Stop Scammy Web Sites

Posted by Kara Reeder Jan 27, 2009 12:05:15 PM

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is looking for ideas on how to fix the misuse of fast flux, a technique that allows administrators to quickly point a Web site's domain name to a new IP address.

 

The report notes that fast flux "is not an attack itself -- it is a way for an attacker to avoid detection and frustrate the response to the attack." ICANN is trying to mitigate criminal use of fast flux, while at the same time not inadvertently restrict its legitimate uses, according to InfoWorld.

 

The initial report offers a number of possible solutions, such as limiting the ability of a registrant to repeatedly change name servers. But the organization is open to suggestions. It will accept comments for 20 days, at which time it will issue a redraft of the report.
