"Hacking" attempts

by setala＠gmail.com

Sadly over here attacking back is considered a crime, if you get caught of course. Because of my work, I can not do this. On my hobbyvaxen, those script kiddies fill up the logs and sometimes fill up also connections, so I decided to disable ftp and change the ssh port. Pretty quiet nowdays. My VAXen have had open guest-account for a decade, but only couple of logins per year. And nothing bad has happened. --Saku

Interesting... my "attacks" seem to come from botnets... I'm surprised that this is a deterrent, unless you mostly see single-host attacks... Funny nonetheless...
