[AusNOG] NTP reflection used for world's largest DDoS

[Joshua D'Alton]

In OP case yes, but just saying were someone like Scott Weeks wish to
perform said attack, they could probably do it with just 7 servers as
previously mentioned. Or maybe even a single 10Gbit server, though
aforementioned 'dodgy' providers don't do 10Gbit that cheap. That is part
of the scariness of these sorts of attacks, they are a lot easier to carry
out with minimal knowledge and funds (comparatively).
