Hi

Please don't bann me for asking this question as it doesnt prevail to being malichous.
I would like to know how to retreive information off the net ..for example if I suspect an
intrusion how can I get better information on an attacker than just a subnet-mask or server IP or some non-resolved address.

I am thinking more along the lines of there address and internet details.

I have just installed Linux Mandrake 9.2 and am trying to familiarise myself with some commands at the moment.

I know for a fact that people can retreive my information very readily,,,and I doubt it is illegal,,so I would kind of like to know as this is a big shadow in my computer knowledge.

cheers

BTW. That flag on my avatar is not the Australian flag...how do i change that ?.
