Is this a DoS attack?
Earlier today my router showed long periods of flickering, as if data
were coming in or going out. I am the only user. Log files do not show
anything wrong, nor does chkrootkit, and Top does not indicate any
unusual activity. Things seem to be back to normal now.
I have firewalling set up in the router and also via shorewall.
I have seen this previously on occasion but today was more prlonged.
Does it indicate an automated attack of some kind (which failed,
presumably)?
