In a very clever and very funny article about how SCO could respond to the DDOS attack in the MyDoom worm, Mike Prettejohn of Netcraft also does a wonderful job of education about the possibilities in a single DNS command. This is the hack mindset at its best, seeing a world of implications where an ordinary user can only follow the directions.
