Hello^^
I found an interesting article (old though, but i think it has relevance to us) on the internet relating to the evolutionary process of DDoS technology for over the past couple of years. After skimming through it, I tend to agree on the trends they introduce as well as the most common DDoS programs out there.

On another note, I'm not really surprised that SE is having such a hard time. Starcraft Brood War, Warcraft III, Counterstrike, and all my other favorite online games are shaky in connection (alot, and i mean 2-3 ppl per game are disconnecting). Certain websites are out as well, such as www.internettrafficreport.com.
Anyways, just wanted to give an update from my observations for over the past hour. Have fun guys, get some sleep, and remember that not everything is set in stone, there will always be a weakness somewhere down the line^^
