GRC complaining about the spoofed packet problem should be a > separate rant on his website (who knows...it probably is!). I suspect that there were two attacks - because a few days after he posted a smug "I blocked all the compromised machines at the ISP and didn't even notice later attacks" on his site, he posted a handsup "I surrender, you win" - and started ranting about the dangers of XP. The reaction is about what I would expect if his smug "I beat the haxors" page annoyed someone enough that he *did* launch a spoofed attack, and one with a sufficient variety of source IPs that there was no blocking it.
