This talk about DoS attacks reminds me of a stupid person from India trying to do a DoS attack on me.
He repeatedly tried to telnet into my server. Over and over and over and over.
I would ban his IP, but he would change his IP and try again. I banned a whole Class B address, but he would try again and again.
I finally tried to see if I could telnet or HTTP to the address he was using. Turned out he had a DSL router that was WIDE OPEN with the default password!
I got in there and basically turned off his connection! It stopped him for a couple of hours, but he tried again!
And again I turned off his router, and then out a outbound ban on my ISP's class B address space.
Either that worked, or he just got tired of it.. either way he never came back!
