These have only had some success: while DOS attacks have been successful in limiting our service bandwidth we have not been taken down. This has more to do with FreeBSD than our systems skills. Because of this it appears that attacks directed against the infrastructure between us and the net are becoming more common and effective. Most recently, our dsl modem was given some serious amnesia. Electrically, the thing checked out fine, just no memory no settings. Might have been lightning but there was none.
