Typical Denial of Service abuse (DoS) involves a very large number of connections or packets being directed to the target computer, either from a single source IP address or (Distributed Denial of Service, DDoS) from a number of addresses, possibly a large number and probably in several different networks. Sometimes the effect is to stop the data network working or make it so slow as to interfere with its normal use; sometimes the target is a single machine which also may cease to work or run very slowly.

First think, then react Don’t be too ready to use a button marked “report abuse” (or “this is spam”).It results in real work for a lot of people, and you must do your bit by checking that you are sure you mean what is implied by pressing the button. Don’t send it to the wrong place.In particular when an e-mail message has been delivered to a Janet address it is very rarely useful to complain to Janet CSIRT. The Computer Services or similar department in your own organisation should be able to explain what is going on.

Which IP addresses are Janet? If you can identify from routing information the Autonomous System number of the IP address concerned, Janet is AS786 and this is a clear indication that we are responsible. Otherwise, almost all Janet addresses are recorded in the RIPE Regional Internet Registry, with routes or other information linking them to Janet.
