Ouch...painful. A whole lot of SYNs with forged source address, eh? Hmm...
interesting. Karl, if I might ask - did your attack originate from any specific
port, like 1900 as is listed here?

I'm just curious since I'd like to get a rough idea if there's some program
other than smurf.c out there that makes use of a specific port by default,
or if this is just a one time occurence by a few separate idiots.

And as usual, thanks for the heads up from folks on NANOG.
