> Is this a mass attack by a bunch of "skript kiddies?" What's going on?

I wouldn't say a mass attack unless there are a lot more people 
than you let on, but script kiddies is the right word. the phf file is an 
exploit from way back if I recall correctly, at least a few years ago. 
I haven't seen anything with the test-cgi but yes, they are script 
kiddies after root on your machine, report it to the root of their ISP 
or the root of their machines -1 on the traceroute if it becomes too 
much of a problem, and if you think it is necessary. If this didn't 
help that much, sorry, if it did, good, if you still have questions, go 
ahead and ask.
