Well, I have to say that it is disappointing. Not only in the fact that
these people don't clean their systems, but that this is one of the few
things that I see. Most of my system logs are full of ONLY worm attacks. I
don't even get that many newbie vuln scans. I get about 10 of them a YEAR!
My company is Fortune 500 and this is all I get. I guess I should count my
blessings but it does beg the question of "where is the REAL Inet fear?"

I've seen a lot of postings to this group about attacks, however, most of
them are pretty basic and there's not that many of them. I hate to nullify
the security vendor's fear tactics but I don't see that much on a day to day
basis. Am I alone?

No, you're not alone. I'm on the 24.x subnet, and I still get a ton of
them banging away on my BSD box. On some of the class C's that I admin, I
have seen a decrease, substantial, but not dramtic, on some of the 206.x &
216.x subnets.

It's really frustrating, and aggrivating, to watch the amount of hist
coming in, over & over from the same group of clients. I've been tempted
to send the list to my ISP, but have held my patience for now. A lot of
what I've read, is total ignorance on the users part - most don't even
know that they're running a web server. I know, it is ignorance, but they
should have some common sense, or mild technical abilities to see what is
going on in their machine.

Nimda. In today's logs I see a huge amount of systems in the ATT network
that are still banging away. I can't even give you the amount of systems
that I'm seeing from China. What is so difficult about patching your system
against the .hta, .htq vuln. I don't mean to go off on a rant but am I the
only one that feels this way? Is everyone else seeing the same activity?
