Actually, reading the details, it will be practically impossible to "shutdown the internet" - the attacker would need to know both end-points of all TCP connections..... |

You have to hold the 'g' key down on your keyboard while booting up. Once you get to the login screen, release the 'g' key, login, and hold the down the 'g' key again until the icons appear on the left side of your screen.
This will effectively shut your portion of the internet down (maybe your whole city block). But you have to have a broadband connection and not dialup because you won't be connected to the internet at first. |

Wouldn't they only need to shut down the few main DNS servers of the internet. Unless you know the actual IP address of all the web pages you visit, you would be out of luck. |

Eh, not really, just enough to reset the long-running BGP sessions on most of the major backbones. |

So the obvious question is,
What is affected? Routers only? MS Windows? UNIX variants? Everything except Macs? |

EVERYTHING USES TCP/IP if you're on the NET. Small LANs may not, may use appletalk or netbeui..anything longdist would be TCP/IP |

Well, they'd know one end (their own), and they'd know the other end (the major DNS servers). |
