problem ir like this: someone connects to my hub with huge amount of ports (aproximetly 1000 and using ports from 2000 to 3000) . then he makes huge search query. I can`t ban him becuse he is leaving and connecting to hub very fast (one connection/leaving in 1 second). in result: ptokax can`t serve all users and disconecting them + my firewall takes 100% of my cpu and computer crashes...
I`m using PtokaX DC Hub 0.3.3.0 build 15.11 [debug] with winXP and sygate firewall.
I think flooder uses some flooding soft..
can anyone help me with this?

Decent firewalls (pf and iptables to my limited knowledge) have full support for limiting packet recieving. Anything that goes above the limit is dropped (not even a reset-reply is sent).
Wouldn't surprise me if any Windows firewalls have that support as well.
Oh. And http://ripe.net/ -> whois db -> search for one of the IPs.
And mail the abuse services for that IP. Packet flooding (in any form) is illegal according to most ISP contracts. And you don't have to mention that you're running a Direct Connect hub.
