Hi, my firewall is detecting a "netbus attack" from an external source. Anyway I can basically refuse connections? Nothing's gotten through yet, but it's a pain to see someone doing it and I'd like to smack them around a bit. Any ideas?
It sounds like you already are refusing connections (or just dropping the packets). If it looks like it's casual portscanning I'd just ignore it. If it's coming from the same source constantly over a period of time, send a nasty email to their provider's abuse@ address. =) -b
