Re: OT: Is There A Hacker Convention Going On?
Since I host a white-hat hackers site, the home of the alt.hacker newsgroup, my server is rather a measuring stick of sites which get targetted by skiddies, black-hats, and crackers. In my opinion, you have been targeted. And probably for a DoS attack flood.
Overseas hackers: dont threaten them with law, threaten them with lawsuits. Its far more powerful, available everywhere, and in some countries VERY scarey.
ISPs offering protection: a common discussion in our newsgroup. There are pros and cons since no filter can avoid catching some good stuff with the bad. All of the "bad stuff" is he same protocols as the good stuff. It needs pretty invasive examining of your traffic to decide. My position is that there is a market for filtering AND non-filtering ISPs. I just wish they would choose and advertise themselves as such. I hate getting an account and then finding out that they block/filter something I needed to use.
