Script Kiddies

Congratulations, you are officially a script kiddie. You seem to think you are doing something new and exciting, but you aren't a "cyber-warrior" as you have romantisized yourself as. There is already a name for what you've done.

You also might want to learn a little more about computers and the internet before writing an article such as this. Consider the following:

In less than an hour, I had become an Internet soldier. I didn't receive any calls from Kremlin operatives; nor did I have to buy a Web server or modify my computer in any significant way.

The fact that you even thought you needed to purchase a web-server indicates to me that you don't even know what a web-server is, nor what it does.

And putting together a batch file is not the same thing as "software development." Thats like saying kicking around a pile of dirt is the same thing as construction.

Lastly, ping based attacks are innefficient in this situation, so it appears even your "cyber-commanders" don't really know what their doing.

Excellent to see that there are some IT professionals reading something other than slashdot and IDS logfiles. Great points.

The biggest problem with this article isn't that it somehow provides other script kiddies any information they hadn't previously gotten, or even its appalling amorality regarding human death and the triumph of brutal dictatorship over democracy and freedom, but rather that it's boring and credulous. "Hey, computers can automate complex or repetitive tasks, like communicating with other computers!" Thanks for the newsflash, Slate; is your next breathless story on "Belgium: Fictional Land or Lost Civilization"?. I'm sure the Wichita Alarmist-Herald back in the days after A. G. Bell suddenly discovered a danger in our midst: "Deviants of all stripes can use this new 'telephone' for immoral purposes; our children are at risk!"
