Isn't there a dedicated list for this yet? Having been bludgeoned into near-coma by the last month's deluge of smurf-related stuff - some technically ridiculous, some only bureaucratically tedious - I don't feel moved to track the "bite-me" list in real-time (15 minutes *ahead* of real-time, in fact, mirabile dictu). In the spirit of some recently offered theories, I believe smurfing is really a cleverly disguised DOS attack, aimed not at the ostensible victims, rather against the readership of NANOG. Once we're lulled into a torpor by the smurf postings, our disks will fill to an un-fsckable jumble, 15 full minutes ahead of real-time. Take it out in the hall, will ya? --Tom ==== Tom Walton Director of Strategic Consulting Dimension Enterprises, Inc twalton () dimension net -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog () merit edu [mailto:owner-nanog () merit edu]On Behalf Of Karl Denninger Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 1998 7:13 PM To: nanog () merit edu Subject: Another major smurf run Hi Folks, If you're monitoring my page on this, you want to take a look in another 10-15 minutes. We were just hit by another major smurf attack, and I captured over a dozen new prefixes (which got added to our "bite me" list). http://www.mcs.net/smurf (update in process right now; give it 10-15 minutes) -- -- Karl Denninger (karl () MCS Net)| MCSNet - Serving Chicagoland and Wisconsin http://www.mcs.net/ | T1's from $600 monthly / All Lines K56Flex/DOV | NEW!
