I got 47 Abuse-Emails while being DDOSed today. Thats in my normal range. Normally when there is a bigger bot net scanning port 22 etc I will get over 1000+ abuse mails a day. Could be they are scanning ranges that doesn't produce abuse mails or they do something otherwise fishy. No clue right now. With over 1 million extra sockets alone on my servers I am sure he/she/it has some beefy hardware.
I think I'm getting hit, too. I can't SSH into Parker anymore, even after a hard reboot. I can still communicate with Systembot normally, though. He might be out of available network sockets for sshd to respond to connection attempts. I'm considering blowing away the node and building a new one.
I seem to recall something about an attacker DDoSing individual Tor nodes to help isolate where a given hidden service is running. Could this be a manifestation of that attack?
