Re: SYN flood atacks?
Sorry I didnt take the smart ass factor into account when I posted. I have heard that AOL and other mega proxies have been sending enough SYN floods (DDoS style) to knock over Discover and Allstate. I am not talking about small amounts of normal traffic. Jason -------------- Original message --------------

You will need to be more specific.
There are syn flood attacks, icmp attacks, udp attacks, tcp attacks, dns attacks, http attacks, im attacks, ipsec attacks, etc going on every day, all day.
One of my peers had a DOS against one of their colo customers. Effected their/our connection to Level 3.

we took around a gig of port 80 syn flooding to a customer web host, it was around 12-3pm utc.. ended when the customer disappeared off the net. not sure if this is unusual tho, theres hundreds of such attacks per day globally... Steve On Tue, 17 Aug 2004, jgraun@comcast.net wrote:
