..packeted..

[GSCole]

Given the increasing notoriety of DoS or Denial of Service attacks, it
might be worthwhile noting that 'packeted' is a word used by hackers.  I
think that it is a relatively new use of the word, even though packeted,
as such, has been around for a while.  Corrections welcome.

>From the following site:
http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm  The author, Steve Gibson, is not a nebie
to the practice of hacking.

"'Wicked's' response was to team up with two other hackers, all of whom
tend and manage large fleets of 'IRC Attack Bots'.  They launched a
concerted and extended 'packet attack' against grc.com.  In the slang
that I learned while monitoring their many conversations, they
'packeted' us. They did this, not using any tool they had written, and
not possessing the ability to create such a tool themselves, but using a
powerful 'IRC Bot' that had been passed around extensively.  Neither
Wicked nor his friends know who wrote it or even where it came from."
