Re: Dancho on Georgian Internet attacks

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

It's not even close to the noise I get from the Arab world thanks to
having had positions 1 and 2 for "Mohammed Cartoons" hosted on my net at
the peak of the hysteria.

Yawn, I feel sorry for the Georgians, but they seem to have SMB level
netsec.

What I want to know is, why isn't a mob of freedom loving Westerners and
Israelis taking out al the websites and IRC channels of Jihadistan?

Perhaps using the BGP redirect hack so we can get them in meatspace is
more fun :-)!
 
Nothing is as cool as a "door knock" that was called by a trace.
