“Every day with my morning coffee I read the news. Logs sent to
me from network computers informing me of who’s been doing what.
Using these informative bits of news I can report potential
cracking attempts to ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and find out
whether someone is seriously attempting to take over my systems or
just if someones home computer has a virus that’s trying to
replicate itself. Most ISPs and Network Admins are pretty good
about tracking and stopping crack attempts, but I don’t expect them
to stop trying. For one, it’s no fun, the morning news gets boring.
For another, if they’re not trying to break into systems, what are
they doing?“That’s exactly what I see happening right now…”
