| Seriously guys Come on, damn skiddies. This is the kind of shit that makes the Internet no fun. Soon it'll start affecting people who use the Internet for nothing more then checking their E-mail, when their VoIP phone goes down, or they somehow hit a bandwidth limit by downloading 20MB a month. It's not funny, especially to the victims. Most of the world already relies on the 'net. I pay my bills on line through my banks website. If my Internet was to go down for the rest of the month because of a damn skiddie using my computer for malicious reasons, all my bills would be late, and I'd be pissed off. Now if you and your friends wanna team up and waste your bandwidth, I really don't care. But when you use malware and affect more then just yourself and the target of a DDoS, it's gone way too far. DDoSing in general is just stupid, but when you affect more then yourself, your friends, and a couple targets, it's causing big problems.
Put short, skiddies, stop being fucking idiots, and get a life. Mmkay?  | |

Current DDOS attacks are often done by criminals to extort "protection" money, or because they were paid by an unethical rival of your company.
Password-sniffing trojans are planted by criminal gangs to collect credit-card numbers and bank website credentials/passwords.
That all adds up.
Add to that IBR ("Internet Background Radiation") from various worms.
And don't forget all the P2P clients trying to connect to you, because the previous guy on your dynamic IP address was running P2P. | |
