[Ralf Koch <info@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this seems to be an evergreen (or even a zombie). Every second month we
fill up this list with discussions like "How can I strike back" etc. The
last one I remember was the thread "Is it possible to return something,
so Nimda would crash?". from 09/21/01.

I think everything about that was discussed before and we should
concentrate on this list on security problems, not on strike back
szenarios.

If you think, you're smarter then a real hacker, and if you think you can
deal with the problems you're running in when your returned packages
bring down a (hacked) server of a big company with lots of lawyers - go
and try.

Sorry, but I don't like to see this discussion again and again and
again...

Cheers,

Ralf
