And even if you DO cover aeverything, it can still be traced.

Besides, it's far from original, and I actually consider it to be an
elementary-school level hack. I'm far from impressed

Now, manipulating /dev/nit WAS an interesting hack, although that one's
been mostly dealt with by the CERT advisory (although even that took
eight months to come about).

As for the greencard lawyers and their carpet bombing of usenet, that has
been dealt with. They'll probably be disbarred. I'd say they filed suit
as a knee-jerk reaction.

Please follow up this thread to comp.org.eff.talk or news.admin.*
