I agree with Beryllium9 on the logged packets, they're either a really primitve portscan or just a proxyscan. I don't know if you got other things during the attack (if it was an attack even). I'd like to know some more about the person itself. What was the chat room you were talking about ? What made you sure it was a scriptkiddie ? I know it's easy to download some scripts and use them etc., but there are also still people like blackhats. Those also have skill in malicious actions, but they won't bother about you if you didn't do anything to them... Do you know for sure you were attacked at all ? If the guy has 1,000 DDOS setups or whatever it means you just can't reach anything, because yer bandwith get's spoiled. Unless it is fired to exploit something there won't crash anything. You use linux and you have a firewall. Didn't gaim or anything just crash on you or something ?

Ow my post is a mess again...
