     Yes, you are right Bino....

    But I wonder - since the source code of "usefull" tools like the trinoo
has been made publicly available (for reference-
http://www.technotronic.com/denial.html ) which "script kiddies" won't try
it for fun on any well known site...

Just wondering why there hasn't been much mention of the recent DDoS'
against a lot of the major sites on the web...  Given the nature of the
list, I would have expected _some_ mention, but I don't think I've seen a
peep, which is very surprising!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then read:

and

Seems that this could get very serious before it gets much better...
