I am leaving full headers in for validity but will explain. Shortly after
the release of 'syn flood' code in Phrack magazine, se7en claimed that
he had ported the 'syn flood' attack from a TCP/IP network (like the internet)
to the phone network. Carolyn Meinel of all people, calls him on this
and asks for more info. To anyone in the telco industry, they will realize
his claims are totally bogus. In typical se7en fashion, he tries to remain
vague and aloof to cover his lies.
Lines proceeded by double colon (::) are Meinel's, single colon (:)
are se7en's reply.
