| #9 One technique for learning is to install a sniffer (protocol analyzer). Configure it to ignore all legitimate Rantburg traffic, and see what other traffic you're getting. It will tell you what attacks you're getting (complete with the details of the attack packets) and the source IP address. |

| #6 We just got our own server in May. Within a week we had company. I've been tightening security bit by bit ever since - I'm not a network guy, so much of it's been learned on the fly. One time actually connected while the guy was logged in. He was scanning IP addresses in Central Europe. A couple other times I kicked gamers out. This time there were six instances of Perl running, and I don't use Perl. I ran a virus scan, though, and couldn't find anything, so I shut Perl down. |

| #5 Sorry to learn of your tribulations, Fred. Two questions: Did this start before or after September 11? Do you have any buddies at the FBI? If you could arrange for this villains arrest, we could have a lot to rant about. |

| #4 Friday nights? Someone all worked up after services, maybe? Or just some drunken college loser? |
