my ports keeps on getting scanned

[d0ppelg@nger]

True ISP's frown upon portscanning. I myself have had one of the Admin's of the ISP at work call me and ask what I was doing. Nothing I say, just a lil port scanning. They get emails from Admin's that say that they are getting scanned from a certain IP. I personally get scanned hundreds of times within a week on my firewalls. It's part of life on the net. The best practice is to keep your packages/images/firmware/etc... up to date and log everything.......

Do you have a static or dynamic ip? if its dynamic they are finding you via either by a chat program eg icq or a a
program on your computer if static i would say a "virus program"like code red etc type netstat -a to find out whats running
also get a free port scanner eg nmap and scan 127.0.0.1 to see what ports are open

I am constsntly getting scanned by this one ip address and I wish to trace it to find out who it is.
How can i do this? thay are resenably strong attacks..

The best info on IP who's and how many records against it (VisualAlarm Report).

you can easily block some ports using your firewall, I have blocked 135, 137 and 139 both tcp/udp.
These ports are used for Netbios etc, and that my friend, you dont need.
The log of my firewall has become a lot shorter after i blocked these ports
Blocking ports is a good thing
