Milk is a non-spoofing ping flooder, which makes it extremly unlikly its
being used to dos the websites.  If non spoofed packets were hitting them,
im sure the boxes dosing would have been taken down already.

We found milk running as a user level in one attack. We found out later
another instance but
running as root!!. There is a very interesting paper from Dave Dittrich,
University of Washington

There are lots of rumors out there .. I am listening ...

Thanks to all for all your responses and information. Today, is in
the news
(again). It was Yahoo and then EBay and Cnn.com and others. Same
thing.
Looks like there is no stop to this.

We are very small if we compare the since of those sites, but small
sites
are the ones causing the problems. I would like to keep the subject
going
but not sure if there are answers. SUN is quiet so far on this (as
usual).

Please let me know if you find the source code of this "milk" or
whatever
name appears to be in your system. Thanks!
