    Hello fellow wizards,
    
    Here's the picture. I am a client of Adelphia PowerLink CableTV. They use DHCP
    for giving IP addresses. In the last weeks a bogus DHCP server showed up into
    the network giving addresses in 192.168.244.128/25. The guy is using aliasing
    on his Ethernet interface, he has an address aquired from the ISP in the ISP's
    range and he configured his interface with 192.168.244.129 too. I have his
    MAC. He gives DNS services. The system the hacker uses is totally protected,
    no ports are "visible" to allow to try to do something to his system (can syn
    flood be a solution?). Some time ago the hacker provided forwarding also but
    now he's not forwarding anymore anoying lots of people in the net as they
    don't have access to the INTERNET. I believe it is a UNIX box, most likely
    LINUX with NAT. Now here comes the question: is anything there we can do to
    block this guy ?
    
    Any answer will be greately appreciated. I will sumarize also for archiving
    purposes.
    
    TIA & best regards,
    Tudor
