We are under a UDP packet flood denial of service attack. The persistance
of this attack has allowed us to chase it back to the source which is a library
computer in Victoria University (BC).
I am trying to get through to Sprint to block traffic from that site and I
have also contacted security there and they are going to try to get the system
shut down and investigate who is responsible.
