Re: Counter DoS

After reading that article, if this product really is capable of 'counter striking DDoS attacks', my assumption is that it will fire packets back at the nodes attacking it. Doing such an attack would not be neither feasible or legal. You would only double the affect that the initial attack caused to begin with, plus you would be attacking hacked machines and not the culprit themselves, thus pouring gasoline all over an already blazing inferno.

This product is a bad bad idea and anyone who invests money into it should slap themselves very hard with a metal gauntlet for being so gullible.
