Meaning, that I do it from another computer (not in the same house). I just want to see if I can do it, how easy or how hard it is.

The home network has a Linux firewall.

Don't do it. Don't hack into your own computer!!

It's been a long court battle and I finally think I truely have a case with the latest evidence against myself. I'll beat me if its the last thing I do.

(Can you believe the that bastard, KnightBreed, took me to court?!)

Nothing like taking yourself to court...

&quot;Microsoft has hired lawyers to attack it's own product line in an attempt to confuse the DOJ. This stunning new tactic shows great promise according to several Harvard Law professors, although many expressed confusion when questioned about the long term effects of this campaign.&quot;

You can, provided that the entire path is owned by you. If you DoS yourself from another computer over your ISP's link they might have an issue about it.

If you hack your own computer from a computer which isn't yours, the person who owns the computer could theoretically sue you for wasting their computer's time, or for making you a apprentice without their consent to your criminal act against yourself.

Not that this would hold up in court, but it would be interesting to count how many times the defendant said the words &quot;I&quot;, &quot;me&quot;, and &quot;my&quot; during the trial.
