Technically flooding isn't illegal...just really rude. Or against your terms of service for your upstream provider. – Bart Silverstrim Jul 15 '10 at 12:31

Why was this closed? Imagine he got an email from someone stating his servers IP has been flooding that persons host - how can he check? – Konerak Jul 16 '10 at 08:04

Packet sniffing.
Monitoring network I/O.
You don't mention platform, internet connection, etc...
Run malware scans/virus scans. Again, don't know your platform so can't recommend anything.
Check your routing/ARP tables for unusual activities. You didn't mention what kind of server it is, so can't recommend anything there...
