Fortunately, the spoofed queries are 60 bytes and my REFUSED responses are only 59, so it's a terribly inefficient way to DoS someone. However, I never said that the DDoS kiddies were smart - doesn't seem to be stopping them from trying. :(
Well, it still makes a DDoS, since they can (theoretically) have a bunch of sources spoofing the IPs, and the packets to the targets have legitimate source addresses (so they can't easily be blocked by the target). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
