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."
poor little darl..... :)
. . . that's just the slashdot effect. . .
Great! now they get headlines simply by *not* lying
We all know that SCO paid this security expert to say SCO was attacked...they are trying to make the OSS community look bad!
Ha-ha!
Quick! Someone start knitting Satan a sweater!

Oops, oh well. SCO still sucks.
Well I guess the lying or incompetent question has been settled.
You say
Are they sure it wasn't a SIN flood?

The sites you mention provide a public service. How else can a whole community effectively make new comers go "DUDE! What in the fuck did you send me to that?!?!" and all laugh together? Most people only get hit once by those sites.
I'd liken it to a practical joke compared to a bully... You don't retaliate against the joke, but you sure as shit would love to kick the shit out of the bully
That's scary.
Monkeys! Always bet on the monkeys!
Did you just call SCO a legitimate business? *Backs away very slowly*
Because Goatse Guy and Tubgirl aren't the problem. Their bastard offspring, Darl McBride, is.
(Sorry, Goatse and Tubgirl. I know if you two did mate, your kids would still turn out better than Darl did.)
I blame the French.
you forgot one:
-the it guys had left the building few months ago.

world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
Then again, it's not nice to always blame Darl.

It was bound to happen eventually, if only by random chance - as much as they talk, sooner or later they were bound to say something true.

In the orginal fairy tale, I believe the boy gets eaten. Tragic, but at least the wolf is happy. McBride burger anyone?
Oh never fear I have a mirror up whats the big deal

Its not like they really would have any trouble paying for a bigger pipe.
Given the amount of crack they must go through on a daily basis, I'm sure they have a huge collection of pipes.
It was a Gnu/DDos damnit!
That it wasn't customers rushing to pay their linux liscense fees because the court case is going so well?
and Daryl wouldn't lie either.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.
" Perhaps SCO should use some of their millions of recent investments and get an OC48."
Are you kidding? Do you know what one of those costs? That would seriously affect the Crack budget. No way is that going to happen.
Maybe what it really means is Denial of Settlement.
