Just something to take into account when you see so many 'attacks'.

There are millions of 'users' in the world who load a computer (don't care if it's *nix, W2K, XP or ?) that do NOT understand they need to protect themselves. And the hackers/script kiddies/virus writers count on this. Ergo.....infected/compromised computers that are sending out Code Red, Nimda, etc, etc. I haven't got the sophisticated IDS that some of you have to decode the different attacks; but I see the same IP's (at the same time of day).

Wish we could get it through to them .... they need Firewalls & AntiVirus.
