| <_aLExVP> | my pal just had the most freaky experience of the week |
|
<_aLExVP> | we're running a small VPN network around here, normally it is a relatively quiet project |
|
<_aLExVP> | about an hour or so ago he got a call from someone else on the vpn |
|
<_aLExVP> | he was asking around because he and other people were being port-scanned over the net, and he was wondering if anyone else knew something about it |
|
<_aLExVP> | because we normally don't port scan each other over the vpn |
|
<_aLExVP> | now he was just having a little private lan party with some friends |
|
<_aLExVP> | (yes he invited me too but i have a test next week and a shitload of work ahead) |
|
<_aLExVP> | anyway |
|
<_aLExVP> | looking around a bit they traced it to his vpn connection |
|
<_aLExVP> | and after looking around a bit more they found out the scans were coming from one of the windows systems at the party |
|
<_aLExVP> | the system was a mess. no anti-virus on a budget gamer pc |
|
<_aLExVP> | he has a router providing VPN access to his home net |
|
<_aLExVP> | they traced the source of the attack on the windows box to an IRC bot net, and from there back again to his own connection |
|
<_aLExVP> | further on to his wireless router |
|
<_aLExVP> | and, interrestingly, to the car in front of his house |
