Same thing here, 15 fold increase this morning (by the IDS), and we're an even smaller network. Also seeing a lot more Sircam email. Don't know if its a social issue (more stupid users are leaving their PC's on) or engineered in. Going to be another fun day ... ========================================================================== Eric Germann CCTec ekgermann@cctec.com Van Wert OH 45801 http://www.cctec.com Ph: 419 968 2640 Fax: 603 825 5893 "It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated.

Ok, we run a small network, but since this morning, the amount of non-port-80 (CodeRed and Ilk) scans and probes and smurf attempts have gone through the roof... no-holds barred scanning (not subtle probing) from Tiawan, India and US (Cable/DSL mostly) IP's.
Are other seeing it as well? --mike--
