    Hello,
    
    yesterday we've got about 150,000 HTTP requests with diff. source IPs (121,000 unique) to a single host in 2-5 mins. interval.
    According to logs all source IPs are spoofed. 
    Almost each HTTP request produced an ICMP connection from spoofed IP (port unreach, network unreach, etc).
    
    It looks like a probe before a serious DoS attack. 
    
    Does it looks like a new DoS tool? 
    
    What could you recommend to do?
    
    Where is no way to find out a mastermind since attack was short, isn't it?
    
    Dmitri Smirnov, SSCP
