Throwaway for obvious reasons. Around 13 years ago when I was a lot younger we were in fight with other site community, none of it was for profit. We got hit by DDOS so we wanted to retaliate. We've scanned their DDOS boxes and found out the software that was running on them and vulnerability that they were using, then we hacked that box, got their tools because all was transferred without any encryption (different times). We wrote our own C&C software and started gathering our own botnet. Most of the bots were coming from datacenters so they had high bandwidth pipe. That community we were fighting with moved to offshore hosting in Malaysia. I've used our whole botnet and started DDOSing, oh man, I didn't know what kind of power we had. Whole country (Malaysia) was cut off the rest of the world for hours. Fun times, some teenager from some place in the world can cut off whole country from internet by executing one command.
