I sometimes wonder if the threat of hackers is exaggregated. They certainly missed a nice opportunity to crash the Internet with TCP resets on iBGPs. Now nobody cares about the creative potential of LSRR-anonymized denial of service attacks. They must be stupid or something.
No. They just can't see the forest for the trees. In other words, hackers focus on the hosts not on the network infrastructure. And since they depend on the network to carry their attacks to their hosts of interest they don't have much incentive to attack the net itself.
