Re:What purpose do Mixtor's tools have? (Score 1)

Excues me, but do you even know what Mixters "tool" does?? I don't think so!!! I don't claim to understand his application either. I do from my limited knowledge of the subject ask these questions. Questions we should all ask before we "shoot the messenger"! Was the tool responsible for the volume of data or access to the boxes? Did the tool generate this output? Or did it just allow the abuser to gain access to boxes with high bandwidth? Remeber that the main reason DoS attacks work is because they involve a large amount of "traffic" moving from somewhere to a common point of attack. This in mind, should we say that it was Mixters "tool" or the avaialbe bandwidth to blame??? Maybe we should just close down all high bandwidth access to everyone and only allow the use 56k modems! That would make us all equal. Then I wouldn't be so mad at my Telco and Cable company for not providing me access to a larger pipe than my current 56k *cough**Bullshit**cough* connection.
