Things might be a bit weird for awhile, somebody decided to launch a denial of service attack yesterday afternoon." |

Actually that attack was a TCP Sync flood attack. The firewall wasn't letting any of that traffic through to the servers, but it still caused congestion on the public facing Internet connection. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team, U.C. Berkeley |
