... but people are attacking seemingly random IPs, including ones in a

What do they think they're attacking?

Civilization.

You call this civilisation?

Since I'm just now rereading e. e. "doc" smith's "Lensman" series, I took

what "we" are, that it's what "they" are fighting against.

But I moralize.
