Slashdot Mirror
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."
I told you so.

I wish they would have been hit with a bat instead. I prefer wooden though metal does make a nice sound.
We'll swap you our foot-in-mouth regent for your head-up-ass president.

PS does he have a gay son you're not interested in any more?
This idea was invented by Shampoo.
SCO a DDOS victim and Jeffrey Dahmer was a murder victim. Do I care?
Darl McFuckwad is guilty of DDOS'ing the entire Linux industry. Shove an Atlas V rocket up his ass and send him into orbit (around uranus) and I won't feel even a scosche of sympathy for him. In fact, I'd push the launch button myself.
The "attack" did not come from any open-source symphasizers.
Talking out of your ass
After 24 hours the main argument that SCO was faking this was that their ftp server was up.
Talking out of your ass
It was very common knowledge and you can be absolutlely certain the hacker was reading the news about the hack.
Talking out of your ass
Any Leet SCO-hating fanatic would have doubled the attacks on the main server, or perhaps attacked every machine *except* the ftp site.
Talking out of your ass
That would have been the most clear "I hate you SCO and I'm going to mess with you as much as possible" attack.
In your opinion
If they hated SCO they would want their attack to match the insults being directed at SCO as much as possible.
Talking out of your ass
Instead the attack suddenly switched to be as exactly as possible a refutation of the publicity about the attack.
Talking out of your ass
There is no question what the motives of the "attacker" are. And it is absolutly disgusting that SCO can get positive publicity for this nasty little stunt.
Talking, once again, out of your ass.
I have one question though: How come you seriously believe that in 5 minutes of thinking, while posting on slashdot, you can figure out who is the guy that did that? Do you have a secret magic vision? It looks to me that you just put up a couple of assumptions that would quickly remove the doubt from the OSS. In fact, you just do the opposite.
Some people on slashdot amazes me. Just put up something that looks not too bad, post it, and all of a sudden it becomes the truth. You're not any different from what makes SCO's essence these days: You're spreading FUD.
The fact that you got modded Interesting is a real puzzlement.
Write boring code, not shiny code!
