Thanks for the valuable information, most educational, I do have a vague grasp of these things but that's interesting.
Incidentally although you obviously know all this already NAT can be traversed by various means, UDP and TCP sequence breaking being two of them, and it's nice to see that you are perfectly happy saving your 'little backside' while ntl owned kit takes a pounding on your behalf because you can't be bothered with a vhost or BNC and think it's leet to be DDoSd. *sigh*
FWIW I'm not afraid to show my real IP in a hacker / cracker room, mostly because such things are usually private and I wouldn't be in one anyway. If I wanted to go in one you're quite right I'd hide my real IP, some of us have static ones and even if I didn't I have better things to do than have a collection of packet kiddies nailing me.
Real hackers don't do packeting, packet kiddies do to be honest.
