Pursuant to my previous post, I just rec'd this. Not exactly the same, but very similar. Kind of my point; SO WHAT THAT THIS PERSON WAS SCANNED? Is scanning actually an illegal activity? Was anything actually hacked, cracked, or 0wn3d? It's an absurd waste of resources to be emailed by automagic systems every time someone sends a stray packet. -- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, [email protected], latency, Al Reuben -- -- Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net -- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2001 04:50:27 -0600 (MDT) From: Super-User <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: ### xxx Canada detected a penetration attempt from 209.123.x.229.
