问HN：2002年左右对DALnet进行DDoS攻击的原因是什么？
观看DALnet在2002年遭受持续的DDoS攻击几乎完全崩溃，是我一个重要的记忆，但我始终没弄明白为什么会发生这种情况，或者是什么让DALnet比其他IRC网络更脆弱。许多简单的解释（盗版软件？敲诈？雇佣的僵尸网络演示？）似乎都不太可能，也与事实不符。<p>有没有人知道事情的真相是什么？

Watching DALnet get almost completely destroyed by sustained DDoS attacks around 2002 was a formative memory for me, but I never did figure out why it happened, or what made DALnet more vulnerable than other IRC networks. Many of the simple explanations (warez? extortion? demo of botnet-for-hire?) don't really seem likely, and don't fit the facts.<p>Does anyone know what the story really was?
