The 13 year olds generally do it for the glory of being elite, not for greater political agendas. And, while I think that if terrorists wanted to, they could... I think terrorists are more interested in collateral damage. --Phil -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu] On Behalf Of Jason Lewis Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2002 6:42 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: RE: Internet vulnerabilities
I'm actually more worried about script/packet kiddies. 13 year olds with some scripting knowledge rarely know the financial cost of their "fun".
Does the possibility of these 13 year olds being recruited exist? I think so. I think most people are grouping terrorist into the "strap a bomb to your body and commit suicide" stereotype. Is there a possibility that intelligent terrorists exist? Or even people that have the knowledge and sympathize with them? OBL used a satellite phone, they found laptops in Afghanistan, there is evidence they are using the web to transmit information to each other. I think someone out there has a clue about computers. Crippling the entire net may be impossible, but it sure sounds like a well planned out series of attacks could do some serious damage. jas
