One of my friends at Wisco sent me and email with a like to this story. It illustrates a number of good points about how NOT to engineer a product. aka hard code a specific IP address into a router/software/anything, not doing enough testing to realize something like this can happen, making a product keep trying at a faster and faster rate if it dosn't recieve the answer it expects.
Anyhow, this is about the DoS attack (suppossed) thats been happening at the Wisco campus lately.
