Eggheads to Build, Wreck, Own Little Internet
Professors at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California have been given almost $5.5 million in grant money to build a model Internet for the purposes of hacking. They want to tinker with methods for crashing the whole Internet and doing widespread damage, and can't risk such experiments on the real thing. The departmental sugar daddies for this are the National Science Foundation and -- who else? -- the new Department of Homeland Security.
