netgeareverybody.gif So, what’s the best way to execute a global denial of service attack against an unsuspecting university? Simple! Convince a megacorporation to start selling routers with hardcoded NTP servers set to the intended victim! And then, just for grins and giggles, make sure the end user isn’t allowed to change the setting! Sweet…screwups like this make me happy in pants.

Everybody’s connecting. Why yes…yes they are!
