Crucial point missed : don't do any of this from your primary Internet 
connection unless you can weather the storm of a pissed-off scriptkiddie 
with 3000 bots on cablemodems (guess who figured this one out the hard 
way a few years ago?).

A $9/mo dialup or a dsl that has "real" dynamic addressing is a *very* 
good idea when investing and/or aggrivating botnet controllers.

Happy whacking...
