DDoS - Internet Warfare

Another massive DDoS attack coming out of Russia. One of my favorite talks at Defcon last summer was by Gadi Evron an can be seen below. It is very interesting what wars of the future may hold. My Linux servers throughout the past have constantly been logging attempts by Chinese hackers to break into them. Nearly 90% of the banned IP's I have in my hosts.deny file are from China, and I have heard rumors of the Chinese government actually subsidizing hackers to try to break into U.S. computers and sending students to college specifically for the purpose of learning how to hack so that the Chinese government may use their skills. Here is the video. Gadi is an Israeli I believe and throughout the video you will hear him cussing out some drunk Russians in the front row until they are escorted out by security to everyone's applause.
