    OK, I should have clarified. In slammer's case, I understand what you've said.

    What I should have said was, in the case of a DDoS for say a website or mailserver, how do you differentiate between legitimate traffic vs. the DDoS?

    Yeah...because I know when I think of cutting edge police investigative techniques, I think of Costa Rica.

    No offense to Costa Rica, but come on...do you really think they are going to lead the investigation?

    Exactly, except what is needed is a dose of 14th century justice. After finding Ivan, what they should have done was saw his head off and place it on a pike outside of town (OK, a picture on the homepage of BetCris).

    Fuck with the best, die like the rest.

    We could even expand that to spammers....nothing says choose a new line of work like a death threat.

    Well, you ordered a "large glass of orange juice" did you not? And you got a large glass with orange juice?

    Just because the voume was the same as the small glass, that doesn't mean you didn't get your large glass.

    It means you're too smart to eat there.

    BTW, what's the name of that Jip Joint (so I don't ever go there)?

    Because we all know that the rest of us get Copper and Aluminumumm from the all giving Metal Tree that grows in the remote parts of the country. It would be silly to think it comes out of the ground.

  19. Re:My neighborhood on Best Wireless SSIDs You Have Seen? · · Score: 1
    Back in the day, my brother and I shared an apt. near RIT (Generic Village). We had an old lady living next door. We, being young, idiotic late teenagers would always lock ourselves out of the apt. It had no deadbolt. So, we had a screwdriver in the weeds outside the door we used to let ourselves in when we screwed up. one day, the old lady locked herself out. "No problem" I said, went outside, came over with the screwdriver and before she could finish saying "Maybe we should call Maintenance" I had her door open and let her back in. I think it suprised her how fast we could get in.

    Needless to say, she looked at us funny the rest of the time we lived there.

  21. You knew the talking heads were full of shit... on Y2K: Hoax, Or Averted Disaster? · · Score: 1
    When I heard in an interview someone trying to make the point how devistating the Y2K bug was when he referenced toasters, Microwaves and VCR's not working. He was trying to say how prevelant the computer chip was. What he didn't take into consideration was when was the last time your microwave or your VCR gave two shits in shinola what year it was? My toaster never once asked what day it was, or what time it was. He indicated that cars would stop running, the switches for trains that were in embedded chips would malfunction, power plants would be crippled because the chip that monitored flow rates would all of a sudden think it was 1900....come on. WTF?

    The funny thing was, this guy was a "Shotgun and Canned Goods" nut who was "ready" for the end of civilization. The fault lies with the broadcaster who took him seriously. Because, as we all know, everyone who listens to the radio listens to every single word.....yeah right. Someone tunes in and hears their favorite talk show host interviewing someone about the end of the world, and since they haven't heard everything, they assume that if Joe Talkshow thinks this guy is important, then he must be speaking the truth.

    Sad, just plain sad.

    I think Johnny Cash sang a song about it...where the utility company kept hounding a guy for a penny or something, so he took the card and took his pocket knife to it, mailed it back and the utility called to aplolgize, it owed him $300 or something.
