From: Michael Dillon <michael () memra com> If it only takes 8 SYN packets to lock up a socket for 75 seconds then effective SYN flood attacks certainly *CAN* be launched from a dialup connection. And if the definition of an effective attack allows for intermittently shutting down a socket then effective attacks certainly *CAN be launched from places like Uruguay, Brazil, Indonesia and so forth. The kids don't have this much finesse; witness the 2000 packet/sec attacks recently seen. Look for trouble where there isn't any (yet) after getting the current problem dealt with, eh? ---Rob - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
