Oracle.com experiences this also.
   
  Take a look at page 9 of this document:
   
  
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/oem/pdf/twp_uxinsight_implementation_case_study.pdf
   
  It talks about how Oracle uses UXInsight to see the impact on performance of 
this and identify the offenders, by IP (and other network packet data collected 
from the attacking packets)
   
  interesting stuff.

  Once in a while (maybe once a month), our intranet is a victim of 
what I would call a DOS. Our application server (AS 10.1.2.2) 
receives hundreds of requests (all the same request with the same 
parameters) from the a user in a few minutes for a modplsql 
application. It's impossible for a person to send so much requests 
in that period of time. It floods the db (10.2.0.3) and everyone hangs.

Each time, it's a different user. Our PC experts scanned the PCs 
with a variety of antivirus and anti-spyware but found nothing 
suspicious. Anyone else have experienced something like that ?
