The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Hmm, I don't know. I have never looked at the source for "xinetd". I am, 
however, going to be working on a semi-dynamic packet-filter at some point 
which watches for some number of connection attempts X, per some number of 
seconds Y such that if X/Y > N (some number yet to be chosen) then the packet 
filter will start denying packets and logging them.
