Everything has a chance of backfiring. So ISPs should take no action.
Please let me know how your next DDOS attack lasts.
We on EFnet take drones very seriously and do a very good job of cleaning them. I'd say we are probably one of the larger cleanest irc networks. 99% of ddos come from hacked drones running on C&C servers that are not large networks. They run their on ircd or use a tiny network where they will be unnoticed. I also run 2 undernet servers that have a much higher drone count. I don't see my servers over there hijacked. Now if i could find the legality of it, i would. Drew
