Q: Router logs = DoS attack: STORM coming from my Mac!!!!
I recently switched to a new router and have found these in my logs all over the place -
+[DoS attack: STORM] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [myMAC'sIP], Sunday, Aug 01,2010 06:08:56+
Originating from my Mac, I'm now doing detective work to find the source to determine whether it's harmless or not. In any case, I would like to know what's causing these.
I'm not running much - if anything but they still show up. Suspects include -
Dropbox, Yahoo Messenger, Google Notifier, Dashboard Client, MainMenu, GrowlHelperApp
I'm using Little Snitch, but can't determine where it's coming from.

You very likely don't - I suspect you have a Netgear router, and the problem is related to this one:
