Terrorist Attacks to come.

Activity is increasing at this datacenter...

over 3 million individual attacks since 1700hrs EST yesterday (11Sept01).

Profiles include:  Code Red, SMTP probes & overflow attempts
(passing large values during HELO, MAIL FROM, etc.), rpc stuff, as
well as ping sweeps and port scans.

Most of the bad guys are coming from APNIC IP blocks at this time.
Secondary suspects are from RIPE blocks in France as well as cable
modem/DSL block domestically.
