I seriously don't think you'd need any kind of a botnet to take out a few hidden services - you'd just need to rent a few good root servers. And *that* botnet is almost ridiculously large in size compared to the tor network. It would have no problem whatsoever DDoSing all the exit nodes, for example. Andreas -- "Totally trivial.
