intense DDOS of exit relay from China
FYI tor-relays Exit was DDOSed yesterday at 18:00 UTC. The attack was intense enough that the ISP null-routed the server for 16 hours, which has never happened before. Have seen a handful of brief DDOS attacks (about 15 minutes) in the past but none were so intense as this one. All traffic originated from China.

But that does not necessarily mean that the attacker was in China, merely that he/she/it owns a botnet "in china". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mick Morgan gpg fingerprint: FC23 3338 F664 5E66 876B 72C0 0A1F E60B 5BAD D312 http://baldric.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------
