"While Bill Tutte led the team who amazingly figured out how the Lorenz machine was constructed ..." modulo the fact that the Polish Post Office had kindly supplied them with the actual machine. Ah, the mystical intellectual insight of taking it apart with a screwdriver! FWIW, the distributed denial of service attack, an important way of attacking computer networks, was invented by researchers in the same department of that Polish post office in the late 1970s -- before the black hats started deploying it. Some of the researchers involved were in fact the children of the people who had made Enigma available to the Allies forty years earlier, and they gave their work to the joint military/FBI reaction crew when they started to get organized in the 1980s.
