Ask HN：2002 年左右 DALnet 遭受 DDoS 攻击的原因是什么？
3 分•作者: Meekro•7 个月前
大约在 2002 年，亲眼目睹 DALnet 几乎被持续的 DDoS 攻击摧毁，对我来说是一段刻骨铭心的记忆。但我一直没搞清楚它为什么会发生，或者是什么让 DALnet 比其他 IRC 网络更容易受到攻击。许多简单的解释（盗版？敲诈勒索？出租僵尸网络的演示？）似乎不太可能，也与事实不符。
有人知道真相是什么吗？

Watching DALnet get almost completely destroyed by sustained DDoS attacks around 2002 was a formative memory for me, but I never did figure out why it happened, or what made DALnet more vulnerable than other IRC networks. Many of the simple explanations (warez? extortion? demo of botnet-for-hire?) don't really seem likely, and don't fit the facts.<p>Does anyone know what the story really was?
