The Ping of Death! lol
Great video (especially the happy end), thanks for sharing. The Ping of Death sounded unfamiliar to me, but after looking it up on Wikipedia it brought back some nostalgic IRC thoughts. When I first used IRC (1996) I used a dial-up SLIP connection which was very vulnerable to ICMP bombs. This meant that if you got into a good IRC fight you were flooded with Pings of Death which made you lose your internet connection, forcing you to manually dial in again :)
