Hi Everyone,

I've got a Netgear router doing some logging and it's reporting tons of stuff like this:

[DOS attack: FIN Scan] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [66.75.159.89], Friday, 08 Feb 2008 13:01:00
[DOS attack: FIN Scan] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [77.73.32.120], Friday, 08 Feb 2008 13:00:37
