Packet Flood Denial of Service Attack
For the past four hours or so we've been under an intermittant packet
flood attack. The attacks are SYN floods and not readily filterable. In
addition, the attackers keep changing the target host making it difficult to
block a particular target.
This is causing intermittant connectivity problems to our various hosts.
