 Hi,

 My server has the spam abuses from about 800 ip address in the same time.

 Even I disabled the permissions to create/modify the ticket/wiki, my
 system suffers from the high cpu load about 8.0 ~ 10.0.

 Those attacks are coming from the ip ranges of all around world including
 comcast, cox, and so on.

 It looks like some viruses has a feature to abuse the targeted anonymous
 trac system in the same time.

 Now my server loads seems fine after I registered all these ip addresses
 in my iptables' reject list.
 but I am still afraid that the number of ip addresses will keep increasing
 and the attacks would come from other ip addresses.

 I don't expect any action from you, but I just like to inform you about
 this abuses to the trac system.

 Thanks
