I think I'm getting hit, too.  I can't SSH into Parker anymore, even after a hard reboot.  I can still communicate with Systembot normally, though.  He might be out of available network sockets for sshd to respond to connection attempts.  I'm considering blowing away the node and building a new one.

I seem to recall something about an attacker DDoSing individual Tor nodes to help isolate where a given hidden service is running.  Could this be a manifestation of that attack?
