I won't include "extremely brilliant" in attacker's profile... any script kiddie with some ideas and some research could have done it with some preparation... but yes, I give you all the rights in stamping "extremely arrongant" in his profile. In this very moment, he or those who did it should be laughing all around, very proud of how his or their actions almost put on a halt the biggest Net ever, and how the top-top-top computer scientists are scratching their heads trying to figure out who did it, how was done it and how to stop a more serious attack. And believe me, oh, boy... I'm very sure that more than one should be thinking by now on the possibility of being himself "the first who succesfully got down the root servers and stopped Internet from working".

Be careful, guys, be careful... the next one will be way more dangerous than this one.
