Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) is the newest and oldest form of Cyber Terror. This DDOS Roadmap is a living document and will be updated periodically when new or altered threats require changes to the document. Furthermore it is a consensus document -a product of the joint thinking of some of the best minds in security- and it will continue to improve if you share your experiences in implementing the prescriptions.

IDS - Intrusion Detection Systems - that start at $20,000 don't seem to work well as of June 2002 - read. Looks like open source SNORT can at least cost much less:
