Fast Flux Hosting Briefing - Recording and Presentation Available Online

Date:

6 June, 2008

"Fast flux" is an evasion technique that
cyber-criminals and Internet miscreants use to evade identification and to
frustrate law enforcement and anticrime efforts aimed at locating and shutting
down web sites used for illegal purposes. Fast flux hosting supports a wide
variety of cyber-crime activities (fraud, identity theft, online scams) and is
considered one of the most serious threats to online activities today. One
variant of fast flux hosting, "double flux", exploits the domain name
registration and name resolution services.
