Dos Attacked From This Site.

[chris17house]

Why am i getting DOS attacked from this site Norton is picking it up everytime

Anyone else having this prob?

IP: 69.93.226.8

Location:Dallas, Texas.

If its a bug i understand, but get on top of it.

If its not a bug i will nuke this IP whenever i feel like it.

thats the IP address of one of the servers at our hosting company.

what are you doing when you get this warning?

btw - its not a denial of service attack. a few packets do not a DOS make ;)

First of all im sorry for littering the ES250/300 forums with this topic.

I was about to post a reply to the power antenna question, i had just typed out all the steps and then i got a norton warning saying that i was being attacked.

I looked at the NIS report and it tracked the attack from that IP saying it was a "DOS attack.

I know it would be near impossible to do anything about it but i just thought i would tell what happened.

Thanks

Chris

without any 'hard evidence', its relly not possible for me to say.

could guess at some sort of reverse DNS lookup - but that wold be a guess.

if it makes you happy - nuke the IP ;)

Since I have an Apple iBook, will I have a Mac Attack when I visit this site?

I doubt it.....most all of these "attacks" are directed at PC's. :)

Alan,

I was trying to be funny, but I guess I failed. :(

And, why do you have a :) when saying it attacks mostly PCs?

I have Windows 2000 Professional on my iBook, but I have yet to figure out why anyone would want to use it! <duck!>

I guess I was unfunny also, 'cause I'm always dealing with Mac owners as well as PC owners, and this competition as to which one is best will ALWAYS continue...until the bitter end.

I was the victim of a 'Mac Attack' today, but I ordered a Big Extra instead. :whistles:

you cant really trust this crappy norton firewall or whatever it is called to detect this things right. plus if you would get a dos attack you would not be able to post the message right away, and if the attack would be continuous you would not be able to do until you get another IP address. if you will get a real dos attack you will feel it and you will not need this software "firewall" to tell u that you are bein DOSed:)
