Well... depends on the kind fo attack. I'm actually seeing fewer large packet ICMP attacks than I was a couple of months ago. I'm guessing this is because more zombied machine have been cleared out. There are the normal number of scans that one might expect (bored freshmen with ethernet connectiosn to the fatest network they've ever seen, what would you do?) but, suprisingly enough the number of naive DoS attacks seems to be on the decline around me. I need to look at the security logs a little closer but I think I'm correct. I wrote our security stuff but I've not looked at it in almost a month now.
Can you clarify that last bit some? You've not looked at the code? Filters? As far as freshhmen with 'phat pipe', in this day and age, I expect a little restraint and common sense, but we _are_, generally speaking, talking about American college students. Neither of which seem to be in great supply. t
