Happy Birthday to the Internet

The Internet turns 35 on Thursday. Story at CNN:
Stephen Crocker and Vinton Cerf were among the graduate students who joined UCLA professor Len Kleinrock in an engineering lab on September 2, 1969, as bits of meaningless test data flowed silently between the two computers. By January, three other "nodes" joined the fledgling network.
I suppose in those days, it was pretty easy to identify the culprit in a Denial of Service Attack.
