I don’t think that this is the way cyber warfare is working.Sure, if you get enough people to crush down a web-server you might “win”, but anyway the real problems are botnets causing really huge DDOS attacks from anonymous sources. (Also look at the articles comments on slate.) I doubt whether you can really get so many single attackers at place with simple pings.

I’ve been asking myself what would be the use of such a denial of service attack at government sites? O.k. some foreigners can not access the latest news, but hey, there should be journalists and other people there to tell us things about whats going on. Anyway sometimes government web-sites are not the best thing to trust… What would make a real damage and real “warfare” to me would be defacements and placement of wrong information on this web-sites. Especially if they are not recognised as this in the first place.
