Hi Greg, Yes we could, but it's likely that this is an isolated ddos attack, the rest of the subnet belongs to a legitimate wireless service provider, and Bangladesh is one of the areas of the world that we'd really like to reach with our information about gasification, improved cooking stoves and biochar.
With the prevalence of worms like turning isolated, compromised computers into robots, it's even likely that that particular computer is more or less hijacked into running the attack in the first place. This is just the environment that we work in these days. That said, maintaining the spirit of positive co-operation and mutual respect is more important now, in a tough environment, not less. :-) Erin Rasmussen [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Manning Sent: Thursday, October 06, 2011 6:28 PM To: Discussion of biomass pyrolysis and gasification Subject: Re: [Gasification] Slow mailing list delivery today would assume it's a ddos attack ? from them ? assuming they are on the same sub-net (if they switch computers) could you not deny X.
