When Striking Back is The Best Defense
Tim Mullen, 2003-12-15

It shouldn't be a crime to reach out and hack an infected machine that's attacking your network.

Great idea...all I have to do is spoof an attack on you from my enemy, and you'll take him out for me! 2003-12-16

Well, as usual Tim talks before thinking..
Many here already pointed out how easy it is to spoof ip addresses and what a nice defence it gives to hackers.. I just wonder..

I can understand the sentiment, but the proposed solution not only doesn't work, it causes way more problems then it is trying to solve.

If you are bothered by a host on the internet, either blackhole the host, or find the admin for it and complain there.
