I guess that I shouldn't worry, unlike script-kiddie h4x0rs, Slashdot users are intelligent, wise.. , never do stupid things.. , never abuse the system.. oh shit
You could still launch an attack using a reflection SYN DDoS method. This would work by having the zombies sweep all of their net neighbors with forged IP SYN packets. (This works because the travel is within the border router.) The neighbors respond with SYN/ACK packets to the forged IP address. The SYN/ACK packet would pass the border router because the source IP would be valid.
Of course, unless the zombies were smart enough to know the IP range within the border router, you'd still get a metric buttload of invalid packets at the border router. Some kind of threshhold alarm might be a good idea -- but then there's the problem of locating what machine within the border is generating the packets...
In a perfect world, the best solution would be that people didn't let their machines get 0wn3d in the first place, [Insert maniacal laughter]!
Egress filtering is a good thing but it's not a complete solution. (And it's a good thing that I turned back from the Insufficient-light Side of the Hack many years ago.) Here's an explaination of a reflection attack. (Yes, that "end of the Internet" grc.:^)

The odd thing is that the rDNS now resolves to punish.com, but when I looked last night, it was something else (spankin.com, which rDNSs to www.punish.com). Rapidly shifting things around like that is another Mark of the Spammer.
Yes, mainly the block-list operators like MAPS, however. Cartoonie lawsuits are are a trademark of spammers, which is why I checked SearchKing's spam record right away. Bingo!
I did find a light sprinkling of spam reports in news.admin.net-abuse.sightings under "SearchKing". Not a huge number, but each report in nanas probably represents thousands of spams, and if I did a better search I'd probably find a lot that don't mention SearchKing, but can be linked back to him.
From his whiney tone and business model, I suspected spammer right away. Sure enough, there's a light dusting in the news.admin.net-abuse.email and.sightings groups. And www.searchking.com/dave144.mach10hosting.com/209.2 17.135.144 lives in a dump of a net-neighbourhood Hmmm although it looks like mach10hosting has been cleaning the place up a little.
According to the author, theme parks are one on his obsessions, along with boredom thresholds and transhumans.

A few years ago, there was a fad for 12"x6" solar panels that plugged into car cigarette lighters to "top up" the battery. After the fad ended, the panels turned up in surplus shops, dirt cheap. They did provide a nice amount of wattage. I'm not sure what the situation/price is these days.
If you can, get the ones with a plastic frame. I bought one that was bare glass, and when my duct tape aged, it fell off the window and smashed. Poot! (I still have enough solar cells around to power a radio, and enough parts to build that radio. During a snowstorm/power-failure in Montreal in 1970, I actually did do that [only with batteries and a bunch of wires]). Alas poor Heathkit, I knew him Horatio.

And once they get that fixed, we'll slashdot 'em!
Yeah that's the one. Film at 11. :^) I was going to add a warning to adjust for the reality tilt, but the DDoS article is alright.
If you want an explaination of DDoS, here isn't bad.
Maybe they drafted Al Ralsky?

Hell no! But there wasn't much joy around the campus parking lot the next time it rained I'll tell you...

Perhaps if he covers debunking Punctuated Equilibrium, then Punctured Equilibrium might be a good name for it? :^)

And nuke that Capriform love cult race too!
It would have been nice if they'd got a reviewer who'd played MOO and MOO2. Just copying race descriptions out of the manual isn't exactly a review.

You could buy spamking.com from a squatter. I'm surprised Al Ralsky hasn't snatched that one up.

Although, in review Cory, perhaps you should have left out that one goat frame on page 51...?
Got his little chapbook right here, signed even. And if you flip though the pages, the donkey changes into a boy, or is that the other way around?
