Retribution for Labyrinth? Or infidel? The Korea:Next War game?

Where do these DDOS attacks typically originate? In my head it is Asia somewhere.

They typically originate from everywhere -- that's what the first D stands for. As often as not someone that controls a couple of thousand zombie machines switches them on from all over the world.

I think it's kind of a long stretch to think that it's retribution for a crime that happened ten years ago.

They do. But, after the first 18 hours or so, you find yourself just going down the same corridor over and over again.

Not that much of a stretch. Anonymous and its various splinter factions have gone hard after the kiddy porn sect this past 18 months or so. It's kind of a cause celebre in those circles these days. Since all you need for a moderate DDoS attack is the ability to push "start" on a widely available (perfectly legal) penetration testing kit, I would actually bet it was some half-assed script-kiddy who hangs around someplace like 4chan trying to look cool by "going after a company run by a convicted sex offender."

(And the new not-quite-so-legal DDos kits floating around out there are just fucking nasty bastards. There was a new one that either was recently released or due very soon that was supposed to up the ante substantially. I'm not sure if it was "Death Ray" or its successor, but the information assurance guys I work with were patently unhappy at all the additional workload they were expecting at gov't customer sites whenever this thing hit [which, as I looked at the news for the last couple of weeks, seems to have been right about now].)

I really can't get rid of the image of Anonymous X from Deux Ex Human Revolutions every time someone notices 4chan...

This is probably totally antidotal, but I work as a librarian in a prison and have a small collection of RPGs and by far it is the sex offenders who check them out. There is one group of skinheads (murders and meth mostly) who have a D&D 4th edition campaign going. But other than that it is mostly the sex offenders.

People who get convicted of of sex offenses tend to be white, immature, and have very poor social skills... sounds like most of the people hanging out at my local gamestore.

I agree with dysjunct the guy served his time as was dictated by the courts.


The whole idea of RPGs in prison is fascinating. I read a book about a prison librarian. Interesting.

I am death, the ender of threads.
