Ok I take it back, after actually reading the article. The quote is: This was the largest and most complex DDOS attack ever against the root server system," said a source at one of the organizations responsible for operating the root servers. Which is probably completely accurate, and is certainly believable. Just because noone ever bothered to attack all the root servers at once before doesn't make the attack used anything more than piddly. Yay to creative editing though. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras PGP Key ID: 0x138EA177 (67 29 D7 BC E8 18 3E DA B2 46 B3 D8 14 36 FE B6)
