GNAA is a group of people who are occupied primarily in flooding the irc channels of their enemies. This attack obviously required very little in the way of technical skill, just proxying a bunch of requests to a server, and storing the results. The sad truth of the matter is that even idiots get lucky eventually.

I remember going a long time without sleep for field training in basic, and I swear I was falling asleep while standing at attention. I was locking my knees, which is a no-no, and i'd usually catch myself when I started to sway slightly. Lots of people fell down. Only works when the drill sergeant can't see your eyes, obviously, but no one ever got in much trouble for falling asleep, except in the classroom

The NY Times has a good summary of the players (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Google, et al.), how the auction will work, how Google has already scored an open networks victory, and what it could all mean for consumers. The auction will go on for several months, but you can keep tabs on the bids at this FCC site."
