The Honeynet Project has released the network capture of the
dtspcd attack. This is the same information that was sent to
CERT for their analysis, and is the same data that was used
to develop the advisory. It is hoped that this information can
help organizations better identify these attacks. We do not
have the actual exploit tool used in the attack.

You can find the attack capture at the Honeynet Project site:

   http://project.honeynet.org/scans/dtspcd/dtspcd.txt

Yes, the attacker returned six days later and attempted to use the
honeypot as a DoS base. He used the tool 'juno', a SYN flooder that
creates spoofed loopback packets.

Hope this helps!
