I'm in a bit of a bind here. My network is currently experincing 27mbps of incoming ICMP echo-requests, all coming from -- suprise -- China. It's been going on since 5am PDT (13 hours, so far). The funny part is that they are trying to flood the whitehouse.gov web site, but they are accidentally targeting whitehouse.org, my somewhat weak parody site. If there's anything worse than an attempted DoS attack, it's an attempted DoS attack based on mistaken identity. I can drop the packets at the router when they enter my network, and that's what I'm doing. Does anyone have advice for actually making it stop, though? I'm expecting that I wouldn't have great luck contacting the netblock admins. The pings are coming from all over the 211.72/16 netblock. All over it. Thanks Brooks Talley FRNK Technology Group
