| False accusations don't always work
Note to the Security Forum visitor using an Adelphia connection (you know who you are, and I could make a pretty good guess) who looked at this link (Re: I got Interogated from Mid management due to ONE malware) on 26/Jul/2006:14:24:09 CDT and who proceeded to click on my post signature "Test your firewall" link in that post at 26/Jul/2006:14:24:46 CDT, followed by clicking on the port scan link on my web site at 26/Jul/2006:14:25:51 CDT.
Your pathetic attempt to get my ISP to take my internet service and web server offline by complaining to their abuse department that I was port scanning your network failed miserably.
Covad is aware of my portscan service, so all you accomplished was to waste a few minutes of the Covad tech's time and mine for me to confirm from my web server log who you were and what you did. If you try it again, I suspect that it will be Covad who contacts your ISP with an abuse complaint.
A special note to critofur  :
This is why ISPs and web servers keep logs. It has nothing to do with the FBI trying to track your web surfing habits. In fact, you were not even a suspect in this sabotage attempt because I know the IP address that was used was not yours.

Hey Netfixer, I don't normally the time to post but I wanted to say I support you 100%. I hope this guy doesn't bother you or your provider anymore. Someone should tell him that you are actually providing a great service for free and 99.9999% of people appreciate it. I only hope when this guy reported you it was cause he was totally clueless and not malicous. |

I guess they will find out soon enough then. It's like attacking Link Logger, when he's in test mode, and then wondering why you get a knock back at the internet door saying
"Thank you for the attempt, it has duly failed, please take a "try again ticket"".
Hope you don't have too much fun chasing them:
Seriously though, hope they didn't do any damage. |

If it was who I think it was, it was probably mostly clueless, although you never know what may tick someone off when you make posts in a public forum (and I am guilty of occasionally intentionally ticking off a few posters whom I consider trolls).
Primarily it just really ticked me off that the DSLR Security Forum was the access link. Usually this kind of thing comes from a stranger who wandered in on an AOL, Yahoo!, or Google search link.

Anyway, this was a clumsy scam attack, not a network or server infrastructure attack.

opps to late
An "Internet troll" or "Forum Troll" is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war.

Ah, you edited your post. So, I'm stealing your bandwidth?
If I were worried about it, I would block it at the server. I just originally assumed that you did it on purpose as a joke. It later occured to me that perhaps you didn't realize what you had done. When you spend hours every day writing and/or analyzing code, it is easy to forget that it is a foreign language to many people.

This all seems a bit dumb. Did it not occur to the idiot that they would check with you before taking any action?

"why do some folks play anonymous on forums?"
And hayc59, a just as important and valid question, perhaps a nine hundred and ninety nine dollar question. Why do people think that plugging in an email address and filling out a form so that you can have "Voodoo Child" show up above a clickable blue name makes others more credible or less anonymous?
The notion at this site that people who take the time to fill out a form are somehow less anonymous baffles me. |

I have had cases where someone would scan a workstation at work, and then the corporate net security folks would assume an incoming port scan had occurred.
This was a residential cable user, so there was no network admin involved. In retrospect however, I suppose it is possible that the user may have a firewall which automatically emails an abuse report if it detects anything it perceives as an attack. I did not see the copy of the email that was sent to Covad, just a copy of the users firewall log extract. This would be similar to the automatic email virus reject messages that some brain dead A/V programs send out which do more to clog the internet than the virus they detected.

A registered member, who used to post in this forum tirelessly, enjoyed using a particular term. I always found it a bit petulant but see a need for its use here:
*Sigh*
Could you post the troll image (trollwq9.gif) as an attachment? ImageShack, PhotoBucket, etc. are blocked at the perimeter here. |
