Nick Storm is flying high
Default Ah... that fleeting feeling of victory

It took someone over at Cox (or wherever) about 2 hours to figure out their program needed to be rebooted. After which time, the reset attacks resumed.

Point of note: Once this began again, I did a hard reset of the cable modem and router, and forced Cox to reissue my IP address. The attacks continue, which leads me to believe that it is a system-wide process aimed at gnutella traffic, versus one that is targeting specific users at whom they're annoyed (I'm sure I fall into that category, by now).

Looks like it's time to figure out how to block reset packets under XP...

Cheers

Nick
