I don't think my first post made it through, so here goes again. Our web server has been completely bombarded for about four hours now by a specific range of IP addresses. Our T1 line has been at 100% capacity during this ordeal. We are receiving around 250 packets per second from a range of IPs that I cannot completely trace.
The range is 216.106.166.141 through 216.106.166.141. All packets appear to be legit http requests for port 80. The requests cycle through from one IP after the next and then the cycle starts over. I have tried using http://www.network-tools.com to trace the numbers to no avail. I can only get within the last five nodes before the trace times out. Does anyone have any ideas what this may be? I'm thinking maybe a new worm or a DOS but I'm not sure yet. Thanks in advance. Seth Keller Culver Community Schools A+/N+/CIW Intel Certified Integration Specialist 2000/2001
