Matthew_McNally Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris17house Posted October 30, 2004 Author Share Posted October 30, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_McNally Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockerguy Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Since I have an Apple iBook, will I have a Mac Attack when I visit this site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amf1932 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 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. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockerguy Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 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!> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senna4ever Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I was the victim of a 'Mac Attack' today, but I ordered a Big Extra instead. :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 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:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
