Is openSUSE susceptible?
That page says to block IP 212.7.208.65. How does one "block" an IP? I tried adding a line '0.0.0.0 212.7.208.65' to /etc/hosts/, but it doesn't prevent a ping from getting out and back, and seems more like it should have prevented me from reaching it (which it didn't) rather than vice versa.
Any firewall should be able to do that. Or you could create a host route that sends it to a route that's not available. The hosts file won't do it, as it's only used to map a host name to an IP address.
