Those ip addresses I send were only sample, its 5 page :D and not only
those addresses.
And you are looking to target 128.141.X.Y its mine and I change it because
of mailing list, maybe attackers are here.
You must check the sources not destination.
Thanks

Hi everybody,
Last two days I was under an interesting attack which comes from multiple
sources to three of my ADSL users destination.

You say that it comes from multiple sources to 3 of your DSL users.

The below source/dest though shows that the destination is from CERN in
Switzerland, you know the people who build black holes ;)

The IP does not ping at the moment, but the whois indicates 'dyn' in the
netname thus that is not too unsurprising.

The attack make router to ran out of CPU and we had to reload it to
solve.
I ask those three users and they said we are only game players and all of
them were kids, I think they told the true, they told we are playing:
http://intl.garena.com/

Looks not like a game, just another messenger / IM client.

Attacks takes only 20 or 30 minutes and it happens only 4 times in two
days.
I could'nt capture any packet but this is out put of my "show ip
accounting" that time:

You'll be needing a bit more info than that... and 117 packets with a
total of 5148 bytes is not a lot of traffic to put anything down (unless
it is a targeted attack)

You might though contact the CERN NOC, if you really think something is
funny there. Timestamps might be very useful to provide though,
especially if the IP is really dynamic.

Greets,
 Jeroen
