I would certainly favor the development of technology that would counterattack, melting the offender's computer into a dripping puddle of molten metal, or preferably exploding into shrapnel.

No idea where it came from. How is that?

Service was restored after experts enacted defensive measures and the attack suddenly stopped.Sounds like they have something to that effect!

But most Internet users didn't notice because the attack only lasted one hour. Every FReeper that was screaming for FReepadone noticed....including me!
To: Howlin
LOL! I need that key!

That explains why my ISP lost its DNS and Gateway connections at about that time for the first time in two years.

All your root are belong to us...
To: j_tull
So that's what happened - and this user sure noticed.
To: swarthyguy
Is this what you were talking about?
To: Arkinsaw
"No idea where it came from. How is that?"
They would likely know where it last came from, but not its origin. They would have to back trace it and that might take some time. Also possible that the perps wiped enough of their back trail.
Or, they DO know and they aren't saying.
My bet is that this was a terrorist probe, or from China (which is the same thing considering the amount of aid and arms sales coming out of China to the Axis of Evil).
