It does depend somewhat on your motherboard, but support is good for most up-to-spec controllers afaik... I just wish those USB-PS2 adaptors worked for USB keyboards. On Tue, 2002-04-23 at 11:42, Ronald LeVine wrote: Mandrake 8.2 picks it up automagically. With regards, Ron LeVine

[EUG-LUG:2374] DOS attacks (SYN Floods)

2002-04-23 Thread Christopher Maujean
Is anyone else experiencing massive Syn flooding? we now have the FBI involved as the culprits are using ip spoofing to mask themselves. As a side note, tcp_syncookies are great, as long as your overall server load for web traffic is small, but when your web traffic load is high to begin with,

that would be great, but the tcp connections that are valid need to be in the SYN_RECV state for a short period of time, and the attackers keep changing the 10-20 spoofed ip''s they are using, so we cant block specific ip's either. We are a web host and must actually respond to the valid

No way to tell where they are coming from. there are currently between 10 and 30 different spoofed ips, including some that when nslookup'd and whois'd indicate that we are being Syn Flooded from the 95th floor of the WTC. It seems that someone has found a way to connect Ethernet to the

According to ATG and the FBI this is not just an attack against us, but they did single out all the ips in our 64.42.86 subnet that have port 80 open ~10 and are hitting them fairly evenly. On Tuesday 23 April 2002 05:48 pm, Jacob Meuser wrote: On Tue, Apr 23, 2002 at 02:30:55PM -0700,
