Hitting a hosting provider (indirectly) with a ddos for a few minutes doesn't sound that difficult to do, and could easily pass as a routing glitch or something like that. If it's the only way to track down the server it seems reasonable that it would get a rubber stamp approval. After all, who's going to be able to prove the feds did it?

You too have the capability to do it - should we some it's you? I din't disagree it's viable. Just that the parent said "when feds do it", that's a big leap from "it's possible". How do you know feds do it?
