Actually, I think that in cases like this the only right way to harm the attacker is to jail him (or her).<BR/><BR/>And as for DDoS - I think there are two problems with these attacks. First - the Internet architecture was created without much thoughts of security. I do not want to blame the creators, but it seems like it's time to do some architectural changes. <BR/><BR/>And second problem is, as usual, users. People keeping their computers undefended, with no antivirus/firewall, and with no knowledge about security. Sometimes I think - though I know, that it's not the right solution - that users should be made responsible for hackers using their machines and connections. Something like "If a hacker used your machine to cause harm, you will be held responsible unless you can prove that the computer was adequately protected". Yes, yes, it sounds bad...Aleksey Linetskiyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988449371728586396noreply@blogger.com
