Speaking of DDOS attacks, there seems to be one going on associated with the NANOG list. I was wondering if anyone could offer insite. At my work address, I have received the same email from NANOG about every 10 - 15 minutes. I have received hundreds of copies of this email. Yet at this address I do not receive the repeated copies (and no one else on the list appears to have complained). If I look at the header of the email, the last hop, if I am reading it correctly, is named "zombie.la.interpacket.net" by mrbig.la.interpacket.net. I have since unsubscribed from NANOG from my work address yet still receive the emails. Also, this has been going on for over a week (since a rule filters all my nanog email into a folder, it has not bothered me too much) - every few days, the email that I am repeatedly hit with changes. Currently, the email I am being hit with is "OT: The End of Empire." Below I have pasted the header of the email I would be curious to hear people's thoughts about this. Is this a type of a DDOS? Anyone familiar with it? -B Received: from XXXX ([165.135.0.253]) by XXXX; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 16:01:40 -0400 Received: by XXXX; id QAA14070; Thu, 12 Jul 2001 16:01:38 -0400 (EDT) Received: from unknown(198.108.1.26) by XXXX via smap (V5.5) id xmaa13982; Thu, 12 Jul 01 16:00:42 -0400 Received: by trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix) id BB70F91231; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:35:31 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: nanog-outgoing@trapdoor.merit.edu Received: by trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix, from userid 56) id 896EB91251; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:35:31 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: nanog@trapdoor.merit.edu Received: from segue.merit.edu (segue.merit.edu [198.108.1.41]) by trapdoor.merit.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 83A3791231 for <nanog@trapdoor.merit.edu>; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:35:29 -0400 (EDT) Received: by segue.merit.edu (Postfix) id 79E335DE1A; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:36:58 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: nanog@merit.edu Received: from bond.interpacket.net (us-la-gate.interpacket.net [209.198.223.250]) by segue.merit.edu (Postfix) with SMTP id ECF9A5DDD8 for <nanog@merit.edu>; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:36:57 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 31855 invoked from network); 10 Jul 2001 18:35:43 -0000 Received: from mrbig.la.interpacket.net (192.168.6.5) by bond.la.interpacket.net with SMTP; 10 Jul 2001 18:35:42 -0000 Received: from [192.168.4.53] (zombie.la.interpacket.net [192.168.4.53]) by mrbig.la.interpacket.net with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13) id N6TNP8LB; Tue, 10 Jul 2001 11:39:32 -0700 Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Sender: mikey@popmail.la.interpacket.net Message-Id: <a05010406b770fb74762d@[192.168.4.53]> Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2001 11:35:52 -0700 To: nanog@merit.edu From: Mikey Wilsker <mikey@interpacket.net> Subject: OT: The End of Empire Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-nanog@merit.edu Precedence: bulk Errors-To: owner-nanog-outgoing@merit.edu X-Loop: nanog __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
