Hi, Dan. ] scanning would quickly become self defeating as attackers would only ] manage to cut themselves off from the net. To some degree, yes. Most of the miscreants are clueful enough not to scan from their home machines. The end result is a lot of hacked hosts are black holed. On one hand you could say "serves 'em right for being hacked!" On the other hand, you could wonder why it is that the non-geek broadband users must be system, network, and firewall administrators. Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com/~robt ASSERT(coffee != empty);
