Greetings and Salutations: I *just* got my FreeBSD setup stable and working witha KDE GUI. :-). I know, easy for you guys but this is the first time I have set up FreeBSD with automatic updates. I settled on FreeBSD 5.4 after many tries. I tried the Rose Attack / NewDawn against my laptop (it is a slow Pentium II 400 MHz Dell Inspiron 7000): http://digital.net/~gandalf/Rose_Frag_Attack_Explained.htm Specifically: ./NewDawn4 1 <IP Address> 0 5 9999 99999999 4000 2 My machine locked up at pretty close to 100% when viewing the top command. I asked a fellow worker who had a PIII 733 MHz to take a look and he reported about 70% CPU increase. FYI. You might wish to take a look into this, IMHO this is a decent CPU DOS.
