Think Twice

Around 2:00 PM saturday, my firewall started to blow up with alerts. It turns out someone was port scanning me. Further logs showed he tried to enter my computer from several ports, but was rejected. I traced it back to his webserver, and found huge photogalleries. Hoping that he searches for his name some time, his IP address was 213.212.5.130

His gallery link said "Vårt eminenta bildgalleri. Se och njut!" and this particulare album was called "Fest i Linköping hos Kimmen 051001, Gänget åker till Kim på housparty" (which says something to the effect of Houseparty festival at Kim's house).

I post this in order to illustrate a point. This person is trying to break into things complacent of reprocutions. When you start moving into trespassing, a land owner may have a shotgun. Many of these script kiddies don't know that yet.

If the human body was never exposed to ailments, it would be impressivly vulnerable to the slightest cold. If our country was never exposed to hacking, it would be oppressivly vulnerable to cyber terrorism. With out the creation of a malicious hacking, Afganistan could have destroyed America's economy with a ping flood. This is why I encourange maclicious hacking, as an ethical practice. Without strengthening our defenses, we are weak. This site is focused on security through knowledge. I detest the fact that so many companies are being exploited because malicious hackers know their security holes before they do. For that reason, I hope to educate where the exploits lay. This isn't a 100% information base, as I only publish things I have been able to implement on myself. No credit is needed anywhere . However if you are a publisher, I would appriciate credit. I am an advocate of open source, so copy and paste and call it your own if you like. If my work is good enough for you to plagerize then that is my biggest compliment . If my work is good enough, I will be approached and asked to write more ... this is natural selection of the digital age .
