Yep, has lasted 4 days and it comes from a very large bot net. It tries once from every bot, eventually it repeats so right now I see mostly "connection refused" (after DH added about 300 new IP addresses). It has also been reported elsewhere (fail2ban list). > I just looks at the stats page : > http://stats.denyhosts.net/stats.html > > And it also shows a spike. > > Any ideas ? A hacker-kiddie with a new toy... look dudes, distributed attack ! or a real gangster trying his new weapons. What seems impressive is the number of bots. If they did this simultaneously, instead of every couple of minutes (but the frequency has been varying, today is faster), they could do real damage (of the DoS kind). So many hacked computers (the bots), and most are static addresses from what seems to be legitimate enterprises. -- René Berber ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
