Hi Aaron,

On Sunday, September 15, 2002, 3:39 PM, you hammered out in part about "DDOS attack ?!?":

A> I am getting what seems to be a small scale ddos attack on my server at
A> home and at work.  What I am getting is tons of UDP packets to port
A> 2002.  Since my  ipchains/tables was set to REJECT instead of DENY, my
A> box was kindly returning  ICMP "Port not reachable" packets.  I have
A> since changed the firewall rule to  DENY so it will drop the packets
A> and not reply.

Congrats.. you have, or are being attacked by the new linux.slapper.worm
that started in Europe a few days ago.  It is affecting all Apache
servers, and uses port 2002.
