[QUOTE="TheAAGuy, post: 1106709, member: 171172"] I have a iMac 9.1 connected to a Netear WNR3500 router via an ethernet cable. I noticed my router log file contains DOS attack: STORM entries that seem to indicate the attack is originating from my iMac. Note the logfile below: [Admin login] from source 192.168.1.5, Thursday, Sep 02,2010 13:23:44 [Admin login] from source 192.168.1.5, Thursday, Sep 02,2010 13:01:13 [DOS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.1.5], Thursday, Sep 02,2010 12:39:30 [DOS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.1.5], Thursday, Sep 02,2010 12:39:05 [DOS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [192.168.1.5], Thursday, Sep 02,2010 12:38:3 [Admin login] from source 192.168.1.5, Thursday, Sep 02,2010 10:43:12 [Admin login] from source 192.168.1.5, Thursday, Sep 02,2010 10:05:26 192.168.1.5 is my iMac.
