RE: Denial of Service, Good for AS/400?

Paolo,

No offence, but it doesn't even seem like you know what usenet is.  It's not
usenet.com, it's where the newsgroups "live".  for example,
comp.sys.ibm.as400.misc is a newsgroup.  (my fav).  

I wasn't in college that long ago, either.  i'm only 29.  I was in college
when the internet was an early teen.  There were hackers and porn dealers
even before then on BBSes.  But they weren't as malicious.  Probably because
hacking a BBS is no fun.  Hacking Yahoo's string of NT servers is.  :)

My point was, getting 1000 hackers together is no sweat.  Ever heard of 
"Burning Man"?  ;)

Brad
