Anyone else getting this China based DDOS?

Been noticing this little fella cropping up in my logs over the last week.........

Anyone else noticed it?

I don't think it's an actual DDOS (but it doesn't say how many packets it's blocked) but most of the 'dodgy stuff' I find comes from China

if your ddos attacked your know it i would n't worry about it if its doing no harm to your pc's it dont matter if your true'ly ddos attacked your know it lol

that reply had a "borat twang" to it.........you from Kazakhstan?

Yep - thats normal.

If I could I'd block *all* of the APNIC address space but alas I can't.

Just as a matter of interest why don't zen?

Blocking the whole of the Asia Pacific region's IP Addresses? A touch excessive. What have the Aussies (for example) done to deserve that?

We'll decide after the cricket...

heh.

Still no reason to block them all. (not yet anyway. heh)

And are we just talking about blocking access to/from addresses or are we talking compleate BGP bitbucket style ?

Anyway no public ISP or network manager could *ever* really* do something like that. You at home could if you want to - if you run iptables / sendmail etc there is nothing to stop you as an end user blocking who/whatever you want.

Just remember when you dont get email, or can't access sites etc its a choice *you* made, not one the provider made.

So you'd like Zen deciding what web sites you can and can't go to?

That would be one of the side effects of Zen blocking any IPs...
