I know it. But (1) surely 90% of russion hackers do not read NANOG, (2) I need to scare those of hackers who did not stop their attempts to break the whole world, and (3) I need some help from the USA's sys admins (and Iv got a few important messages already).

My idea (successfulll last case) is not to close the backdoors hacker built over the whole world, but to cause him of using this backdoors and the servers he used to work through. I was silent at the first stage while the hacker was active in my mouse trap. Now we have provided some noice here, and I am not sure if it's bad idea to provide more noice over the world.

Through you are right - to get ip address was the bad idea. And I think this was different people who (1) installed IRC network and (2) snifffed school network...

No doubt I have not idea to discuss this in open forum anymore.. But to get some attraction... why not.

instinct tells me that the hackers are from north america. its just that alot of european educational institutions are easy targets, and are attractive because you are less likely to get into trouble to hacking a .ru server.
