Hi All,
I absolutely apologise for sending to this list about a DOS attack. It is sent though desperation and nothing more. If you can help with or you know someone that can help resolve a DOS attack please let me know.....
In 1998 the war in Kosovo ended. Just after that two people returned to Kosovo with a small dish and a server. From it they built up Kosovo's largest Internet Service Provider. Today it is about the only successful business there. They started a school from it and have been responsible for generating many education and humanitarian projects there to try to stabilise the region (all Linux based if you are curious). Several months ago they started getting large scale denial of service attacks. This is now crippling them, their customers and the local Internet cafés which are the only link Kosovo youth have to the world. I have tried to help them with the DOS, but it is a problem beyond my server/network knowledge.
I am hoping to appeal to the humanitarian nature of server/network/security folk out there. If any of you can help us work to resolving this please let me know. We cannot pay you, but I can tell you that the people of Kosovo would be very thankful for any help you can give us!
Sorry for spamming the list.
