525065 2007-02-16 03:11:00 I don't know if anyone else has had this problem lately or should I say jolly nuisance, my UDP ports are scanned on a daily basis, I have the built in firewall xp, plus Sygate, Sygate cannot offer any information as to where these attacks originate..until......last week I found good old faithful Neotrace and downloaded it and hello 99.9% of the scanning source is in China:horrified
what I would like to know is there anywhere one can lodge complaint against these blighters! the pests!:yuck:
can our nz servers block them?
hmmm questions, would be happy for any answers thanks:thumbs:

525066 2007-02-16 03:30:00 Unless Sygate logs whatever (date/time/port and ip address its coming from), and you send a log of this (by email) to whatever the ISP is in China, noone will do anything about it.

You need the log as evidence, if u think someone is trying to hack you.

And XP's firewall shouldnt be on if you're running another firewall anyway.

And no I doubt any of the NZ servers can block whatever it is.

525067 2007-02-16 04:02:00 Thanks for that as I said Neotrace does the trick sussing out where these blighters originate from ,it gives map views, node views, list views,ip addresses, time responses, plus locations but says no registrant contact information regardeing the China scanners, seems to be originating from mainly Harbin, beiijing, Tainjin, Guangzhau areas, thought I would ask anyway thanks for answering:) Phaedra (9624)
525068 2007-02-16 04:06:00 If you know that your ports are getting scanned on a daily basis, then there could be something wrong with your setup,

Give your firewall a test over at www.grc.com under "hot spots" look for ShieldsUP! & run the tests that are on that page & you should be able to see why your ports are getting scanned on a daily basis.

525070 2007-02-16 19:04:00 if you really want to report want you consider bad activity, identify the isp its coming from then email abuse@isp,Most isps have this system setup Dont expect an reply or any feedback. beama (111)
525071 2007-02-16 19:08:00 If these probes really bug you and you want to make a complaint, do a whois (http://whois.domaintools.com/) of the IP - you'll usually get an abuse@isp address to report to. Greg (193)
