'Have I angered someone recently?' :: Geoff's Blog [Opinionated Geek]

	Have I angered someone recently?
	As well as the previous distributed hack attacks I've mentioned previously, there's a new guy on the scene. Yes, another hacker is attacking my little server. This one is a bit different. For some reason, he has locked on to AllPodcasts.com's Update page, and is sending URL-encoded binary data to it. I'm guessing he's hoping to crash the server or something. All the server is doing is looking at the bad data, giving a virtual <shrug>, and moving on with its life. The bad data is expected and discarded. Dunno why they're bothering. These attempts are all coming from the one IP address though - 68.12.44.23 [ip68-12-44-23.ok.ok.cox.net] - so I'm setting up an IPsec policy so he won't even get as far as the web server. Annoying, though. I don't remember doing anything to annoy the script kiddies lately, and I hate being accidentally rude. (Deliberately rude, now that's another matter.) What did I do to merit all this attention? Categories: Clueless Idiocy Permalink #.Posted by 'geoff' on Wednesday, 01 March 2006 at 8:41AM <- Previous Blog Post Next Blog Post ->
