SAFE update - week 4

[Avleen Vig <]

By request, we are now only alerting those networks, who reply more than 5
times per ping. The others (between 2 and 4 replies) number almost 20000
in themselves, and most are /30 networks. These can be worked on at a
later time and present a much smaller threat.

We've seen another ince response over the last week by admins and
hostmasters. Thanks folks!
The statistics say it all.

Figures have been adjusted for this week, due to the changes in who we
list:


This week we found:
    4388 Smurf Amplifiers replied with five or more ICMP packets
      This was a drop of 471 from last week's 4859

    11.299 was this weeks average amplification
      14.011 was last weeks average amplification

    This week there was 1 x1000+ amplifier (x1001)
