Why bother mailing ISPs with portscans
LockedI have a broadband connection at home and after reading all the press about
evil wiley hackers I installed a firewall. Last month, I rounded up the
logs and pickd outthe top 5 offenders (by Service provider) and mailed them logs with timestamps /ip addresses dns lookups netbios lookups the works! Now admittedly most of the activity was script kiddy portscanning but a check of the ISP’s terms of service usually described that as “inappropriate activity” which could lead to suspension of youraccount but there were one or two more creative attempts.
So how may responses ….close… 2. UUNET were the only one that said that they had done anything, and Deutsche Telekom “passed the information to the relevant party” – at least thats what I think they meant. It seems the ISP’s don’t really care what their customers are up to so hack away kiddies
