We do get this sort of crap daily at least 5 times a day, distributed
tcp/ack, tcp/syn, etc, over 40-50Kpps+ sometimes.. my list of over ~230
slave networks (in /24 format). Kids are after taking CPUs in routers
out and not killing you with hundrends and hundreeds of Mbps, 
high-pps attacks are also very nasty, and of course everything 
is over some stupid IRC issue.

What is neat is all those 'slaves' are spoofing inside their own /24
or whatever allocation they sit in, and it's very hard to persuade somebody
to look into this as they claim those ip addresses are not in use or
have only routers/switches and there is no way those devices could've 
generated a [d]DoS attack.
