SCO Not Lying About DoS Attack

Licensed2Hack writes "The Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA), part of the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California, San Diego has an analysis of the recent DDOS on SCO.com. Netcraft also has more information in their article and analysis graphs. Seems SCO was hit with a 50,000 packet-per-second SYN flood peak, which yields approximately 20 Mb/s each way, or about the capacity of a DS3 line."

Childish OS Hackers

[yotaku]

And just what do these childish OS hackers expect to gain from this? It is not like it is going to change anything. Yes they are suing people using Linux. But thats one of the problems with open source. If there is a legal issue with the code then its your problem. That is one of the great things about microsoft. At least when you are using their software, you know that you will have microsofts army of lawers to defend any legal issues there may be with the code.

Which is cheaper, buying windows, or spending months in trial?

Re:bad for open source

Of course it was the Open Source community. I have met some of these people I know what they are like. A lot of them have beards. What further proof could you possibly need?

DOS

I believe that SCO has a DOS, DOME OF STUPIDITY surrounding them....

It's all fun and games until someone gets their company bought out.
