Dave,

Here is a pointer to an interview with "Mixter" on CNET.  He is the author 
of some of the DDoS tools.  His comments conclude with a similar theme to 
the one already sent to the IP list by Jim Dempsey of CDT.  Namely, there 
needs to be a greater emphasis on basic security so that crackers will not 
have a large pool of compromised machines from which to launch anonymous 
attacks.
