it'd be ideal if you're being even partially attacked from cracked/broken gov't servers, as they are very very sensitive about unauthorized use of their servers ( from what we've seen so far )
They're very sensitive about unauthorized use because they don't want to end up as the next Dept of the Interior(*). In most cases, their outrage at being hacked far surpasses their ability to maintain the servers in a manner that prevents said hackage. (*) Yes, the bunch that has had such a poor track record for a *decade* that last March, a Federal judge ordered (for the 3rd time, no less) large chunks of their network taken down until they could be secured.
