: the best thing is if you call the FBI, or NIPC. if you call your local FBI : field office and say you're experiencing a cyberattack and could they give : you the number for NIPC then it'll probably produce the results you want, : even if NIPC has been renamed one or more times since i last talked to them, : or if this old functionality within FBI is now handled by DHS, or both. > Call your local branch of the US Secret Service, if you're in the > states, and ask for their electronic crimes division.

A DoS program was put on a PC where I do my day job and was put there by someone from the 81.x.x.x range. I have to get back to doing the netgeeking that I missed while troubleshooting the problem. How much more of my time do you think it'd take to convince international authorities that some kid who ran LC4 from Europe, got a password and put something from http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/DoS/index.html on one of the computers to attack his enemy of the day is worth their time and effort? Think globally. It ain't gonna happen... : > Ok, I 'll buy that right now; we have a DDoS Attack on our core nameservers : > from 66.165.10.24.

You could always call someone here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/homeland/contactmap.html and we could bomb the crap outta them if they're not in the US... scott
