»Gigaloader DoS Attack

Someone has been attacking my server using a site called "Gigaloader" which is something to stress test a server. It is also an easy way to do a DoS attack on a server as well.

My network traffic is being slammed right now.

So, if you see traffic like this:
75.185.163.131 - - [27/Sep/2007:05:10:16 -0400] "GET /styles/xanime/top.jpg?2346141190864713656_ANON_DOES_NOT_FORGIVE HTTP/1.1" 200 95852 "http://www.gigaloader.com/user-message/ANON_DOES_NOT_FORGIVE" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7"

Block the ip address and contact your ISP.

Please add your comments below.

And I have no idea what the hell that means.

It means that someone was using some random site to try to bring my server down.
