for a second I thought that someone was involving Linux in this
attack.. but I see that the dude's job title is Linux Systems Analyst...

this attack imho, it was paid for (rented) and seems to have
been a poc afaik, and it does not seem to be external to the US.... 
(which is scary) I think it would have been useful for anyone to to 
also, at this time of media light, to point out that if everyone uses 8.8.4.4 
and/or one company to host DNS for github, twitter, etc etc etc
- 1) this is not such a good idea and 2) again, even broadband providers
needs to filter egress... more aggressively... also that companies must 
spend more money on abuse admin.. oh, yes, and world peace :)
