It just seems the most knobby/nerdy thing to do, total waste of time isn't it? Any ideas?

You're just perpetuating a stereotype. He's a cracker. There's a difference. Crackers are criminal hackers, cracking boxes just to be jerks. Hackers explore systems and find neat ways to make something do what it was not intended to do. There's even an ethical hacker certification to show that one knows all of the laws regarding penetration testing, the sort of testing you pay for to ensure that your system really is properly secured.

So, a total of 5 or 6 hours from attack, to working normally again, which I think is good service.
