You could of course just filter spoofed traffic, which would then stop a lot of the DDoS attack that I'm suffering with. For the second time in 2 weeks, 2 of my IPs have been null routed at the USA -> Australia International links because of a massive DDoS attack. If anyone is seeing traffic directed at: 203.15.51.34 203.15.51.44 or 216.168.20.77 and 216.168.20.77 (the latter 2 not being my hosts but seeing DDoS traffic as well) you might be well advise to shutdown/disconnect the machines as they are likely hacked and/or trojaned. Last attack was a mixture of SYN flood (which has virtually no effect here), 1k packets UDP send at a high volume from distributed machines all aimed at ports arounf 1024. ICMP echo floods, and bogus DNS requests from hosts with the IP: 'x.x.0.0' Obviously some of the floods are not using sppoofed addresses, but I am really at a loss to see why I see _any_ spoofed traffic, I would have expected ISPs out there to be filtering traffic not from their networks by default nowadays. I must just be nieve. Yours Mat
