I'd love to see that happen but I do believe it would get whoever did it into legal trouble...

That'd be funny to see, but some Zombie computers are actual PC's that people don't realize sometimes they have such a virus. :/

It could be destroying private property of individuals who have no involvement, unfortunately. :P

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Writing a virus to counter a virus... not exactly a great idea if you put it that way :P
However, if you know the IPs and the virus, disassemble it, and then figure out a way to control the botnet, you might be looked favorably by authorities (and gain some fame, too!).

Anyway... are the logs of the DDoS IPs going to be made public?
