Re: Virus Scanning and Your Redback

Port scans are common on the internet. If you've got a firewall, its nothing to worry about.
No, I was just wondering about only getting barraged by them from the same ip range I am on, but no others.

| That's generally because someone using a port scanner scans the range he is on first. The likelihood that someone in another range will guess your range is unlikely, but eventually you'll see some of that too. If you're interested in seeing how a port scanner works, try YAPS, Yet Another Port Scanner.
