After reading that article, if this product really is capable of 'counter
striking DDoS attacks', my assumption is that it will fire packets back at
the nodes attacking it. Doing such an attack would not be neither
feasible or legal. You would only double the affect that the initial
attack caused to begin with, plus you would be attacking hacked machines
and not the culprit themselves, thus pouring gasoline all over an already
blazing inferno.
Plus imagine an attack originates behind one of these devices for some
reason attacking another device. It'll just create a massive loop. :) That
would be interesting.
