Basically a flood of SYN packets to well known ports from IPs which appear to be spoofed. I've actually been riding it out now for over 2 weeks... The tech support is completely inept and trying to contact security/abuse is pointless. Final realization of this was when I was investigating another PacBell customers box which had been compromised via another PacBell customer machine. After the forensics to get back logs and track the intrusion I tried contacting PacBell to no avail and then resulting it tryin to get in contact with their customer directly. Which I managed to do and resolve the issue... I've never dealt with such an inept company before. Jeremy On Mon, Mar 25, 2002 at 11:18:23AM -0800, Daniel M.
