said by justin : no ISPs act on that information anyway. Contact a local ISP and tell them one of their subscribers is doing port scans, they don't do anything about it. So no loss.
Umm my ISP does. I made the stupid decision to port scan UUnet and my ISP called 24hrs later saying UUnet contacted them saying i was scanning such and such ports on their network why was i doing that. I played it off like a virus must have been doing it. -- MY rig :Boistar M7NCD Nforce2 moboAMD XP 2500+ Barton oc'ed to 3200+Maxtor 160GB 7200 8MBWD 80GB 7200 8MBGeForce 4 MX440512MB Geil PC3200 DDR |

| Thing is UUnet is not much of a "residential" isp...UUnet provides mainly to large businesses and is also a backbone provider.
A call from a backbone provider to your isp is way way different then just another isp or customer calling -- Forum Posts:4100 |
