[Gasification] Slow mailing list delivery today

[Erin Rasmussen]

Hi Greg, 

Yes we could, but it's likely that this is an isolated ddos attack, the rest
of the subnet belongs to a legitimate wireless service provider, and
Bangladesh is one of the areas of the world that we'd really like to reach
with our information about gasification, improved cooking stoves and
biochar. 

With the prevalence of worms like turning isolated, compromised computers
into robots, it's even likely that that particular computer is more or less
hijacked into running the attack in the first place. This is just the
environment that we work in these days. 

That said, maintaining the spirit of positive co-operation and mutual
respect is more important now, in a tough environment, not less. :-)

would assume it's a ddos attack ? from them ?

assuming they are on the same sub-net (if they switch computers) could
you not deny X. X. X. 255 ? or the domain they reside in ?
