Spoof

I guess no one read the long reply. Apparently the I.P. addresses were spoofed. Therefore no suspended customers were involved in the attack.

Maybe you should put a couple packet filters on the Ciscos to not forward/route SYN packets from your personal IP range that are coming in over a peering link.

I was thinking the same thing before the thread deteriorated into licensing kids, computer users and many other unrelated things

According to the news release suspected computers were clean. The attackers must have used hacked modems with stolen MAC addresses hooked illegally to TWC's network.

I hope TWC learns from this experience.

No, if it was "stolen" MAC addresses, they would still have a unique IP that could be tracked down to a node. And easily shut off at the CMTS if they want.

And then you can track it down house by house by disconnecting the coax from the tap until the IP goes offline. Then you've found who is using a hacked modem with a stolen MAC address.
