Those hack attempts weren't because you posted a URL here. They were because you have a web server. Put up a web server on any IP, without so much as a DNS A record for the IP, and wait an hour. You'll have code red all over your logfiles. It may or may not do much good, but try emailing the owners of some of the IP's that hit you. Odds are very very high that they are 'innocent' victims running unpatched IIS servers that may not even know they're probing you. And if they have any semblance of clue, they might fix it. --K To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
