hey, for the past few days i have been seeing ping flooding attacks on my router.
i have D-link DIR600 router which i have been using with my ADSL modem for BSNL broadband.
when i see the log of the router i see many messages of the type.
"PING-FLOODING flooding attack from WAN (ip:95.133.205.138) detected"
where every IP is different some originate from Ukraine, some from Mexico, some from Nevada while some from Budapest.
seeing from the message it looks like denial of service/ packet sweeping attack from some neighbor, but the IP addresses tell a different story.
Help me.
