yea haha nighthawkd he showed your server going down XD .
hmmm, is he pinging the servers like crazy? this used to be an old school hack, and EXTREMELY effective. And it will cause your whole server system to crash. he/she may not be exceeding 5000 packets, but if enough are sent suddenly, the server may seize up. or he/she could be exceeding 5000, just your server goes down before it can be logged. blacklisting may not be effective if this is the case because all they would need is an ip address... this is all just a hypothesis so dont shut me down on this :P
sos! save our servers!
