But what is the alternative... someone has pwnd an NSA box and is using it as a CC server for malware that they've injected into all sites hosted by some guy who was just arrested?

Possible alternative is that a third party wrote the malware and decided to put an NSA/SAIC IP address in the code to scare people

And then deployed this exploit just before the Freedom Hosting founder, on whose servers the exploit was found, was arrested?

Just saying putting an IP address in some code doesn't mean the owner of that IP address is responsible for writing the code.

You're missing the point. The fact this exploit showed up just before the server owner was arrested strongly suggests the feds are involved.

I hear a "shooting star" was seen the night of the Tunguska event. The fact this shooting star showed up just prior to an enormously powerful explosion suggests the allies had nuclear weapons in 1908, and that they were supplied by aliens from another world.

For any given series of boring events, the most fantastical explanation that ties them all together must obviously be true.

It doesn't seem that fantastical. Anonymity unmasker shows up on the kiddie porn server the very day the police raid said kiddie porn server?

This is my preferred Tunguska conspiracy:

ps: I don't care if it is correct, it is still an interesting read.

Why don't you do a:

  GET /05cea4de-951d-4037-bf8f-f69055b279bb HTTP/1.1

Don't you think if it was another party they would just have encoded the IP and/or MAC into the URL to of a GET from some scary IP instead of using a cookie to a resource that is actually there on listening on the server.
