1) Black hat probes/attacks Symbiot-protected network to cause a DoS.

2) Symbiot reverse-attacks the forged source of attacks, another 
Symbiot-protected network.

3) The two Symbiot-protected networks counter-attack each other in
endless loop.  Double the pleasure, double the fun. :):)

It's an old trick to anyone who has got two autoresponders into a
loop by forging a sender address and to any mailing list manager
who have had subscribers with misconfigured vacation replies.
