My buddy MK, who is a programmer said it was easy to 'Ping' sites. He showed me how you could do it with one line of code. It would take some work to do it on a larger scale, but that article suggests that readily available attack programs from fringe web sites would allow anyone who can download a program to do it. Has the net sown the seeds of it's own destruction?
