What you're proposing is a massively worse ddos vector than anything seen so far. Hacking a webcam would no longer lead to the ability to ddos websites, it would be a direct and total shutdown of the domestic internet supply.

A few years ago, a co-worker came back from a MongoDB event with a bag of swag, including a MongoDB branded USB drive. When he plugged it in, it acted as a keyboard and managed to open the browser to a MongoDB promotional page. Needless to
