By the way, Jeffrey, we can provide reports on HTTP-flood because our system
builds it's signatures on http traffic dumps like

=== IP: 88.246.76.65, last receiving time: 2009-10-25T23:07:37+03:00, many
identical requests (length 198):
GET / HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-language: en-us
User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru; rv:1.8.1.1)
Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Host: [censored]
Connection: Keep-Alive

So using this info we can map botnets, learn different attacks and in
collaboration with ISPs - find CCs of new botnets. And what are your
accusations of the identical signatures based on when simple Staminus
resellers (like you are) do not have access to their signatures database?
