Hello.

Been away in Colorado for a few weeks.

Just saw this.

Yes, it is about windows but mentions unix.

If you ignore some of the simplicity, it actually describes the process that
they use to do "Distributed Denial Of Service" quite well.

It also highlights the need to have a good firewall that stops outbound as
well as inbound connections and having the firewall validate by
application.

Regards...Martin
