Hi Wicked,

>OH, btw if u need help on writeing about ddos i am
>here, i check this mail alot since now, since i used
>it for this......so ill check back soon :)

As you know, I'm going to be putting together a whole bunch of pages about
DDoS attacks.  How they work, why they're a problem, what can (and can't)
be done about them, etc. etc.

My plan is to have two sides to the DDoS pages ... A general discussion of
the Internet and Denial of Service (like the pages you saw) and then also a
complete story of OUR specific experience with these recent Denial of
Service attacks.  So ... I was thinking that a REALLY COOL thing would be
to have a page written by YOU. Sort of a statement from an Internet hacker
... what you think about the Internet, why you're a hacker, why you're
creating 'bots, why you're attacking your school, me, etc. What you plan to
do with this stuff in the future, and so forth.  I think that people would
be fascinated to hear it right from you.

Also ... I think that there might be two different but similar attacks
happening against us.  Some of the attacks have included UDP's with port
'666', and some haven't.  But it might also have been that Verio's router
was filtering out the '666' packets for the second attack and leaving the
fragments in the stream.
