>CERT/CC has published a paper on the latest trends in malicious

>CERT/CC identifies four increasing trends affecting the network
>infrastructure:
> 1. Distributed Denial of Service - From an infrastructure point
> of view this is a resource exhaustion issue (bandwidth, arp
> tables, cpu, etc)
> 2. Worms - Really a vector rather than a different attack, how the
> attack payload is delivered
> 3. Attacks on the Domain Name System - Registry security, cache issues
> at all levels, out of date server software
> 4. Attacks against or using routers - Transitive trust issues,
> control/data seperation, poorly secured routers used as attack
> platforms
