Really. I assumed you were talking about some nmap-based attack I hadn't heard of. That maybe fills the target's HD with log files or something. Wondered whether that would work cross-platform on any device, like this attack. Wondered whether it could be pulled off by an idiot with a grudge, like this attack. Or whether targeting someone by IP isn't in fact actually harder than being able to do it by getting someone to click on any link, anywhere.

But yes, indeed, if the machine's already vulnerable to something else, then that is possibly much worse.
