Scans and Probes Increasing?

Wed Sep 12 11:01:11 UTC 2001

Same  thing here, 15 fold increase this morning (by the IDS), and we're an
even smaller network.  Also seeing a lot more Sircam email. Don't know if
its a social issue (more stupid users are leaving their PC's on) or
engineered in.  Going to be another fun day ...

"It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed
complicated.  The goal of a scientist is to find an interesting problem,
and live off it for a while.  The goal of an engineer is to evade
interesting problems :)"  -- Vadim Antonov <avg at kotovnik.com> on NANOG
