Sorry for the off topic post, but has anyone dealt with Midco.net? I recently reported a Scan from a node belonging there and have met with nothing but side steps. Please contact me off list if you have any contacts there. Would like to get this resolved. http://www.rocknyou.com/midco.html Cheers -Joe
a) scans from all over are a fact of life on the internet. b) harassing sources of scans and their upstreams is a DoS attack on yourself. Send an email, and if you feel paranoid, filter. -alex On Fri, 31 Oct 2003 joej@Rocknyou.com wrote:

Hmmm, so this is up there with SPAM right? do nothing about it cause its just life. Thats just how Spam has gotta to be such a problem. No one reports it because "its a fact of life", which is the reason why its now such a problem. Instead of reporting it and getting ISPs to enforce AUP/TOS the answer is to just deal with it? lol, not. After years working and dealing in this industry I'm not about to just give in to the AOL/Microsoft ways and means. Well enough said, just a little frustrated at this point, sorry all. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: <alex@pilosoft.com> To: <joej@rocknyou.com> Cc: <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Friday, October 31, 2003 11:54 PM Subject: Re: OT: Midco.net

On your site you say your server functions to: "resolve names for Rocknyou.com, log scans and evil-do-ers attempting to breakin, and sometimes for fun I run nmap <http://www.insecure.org/nmap/index.html> back at those bad nodes." (http://www.rocknyou.com/aboutme.html) So since tonight is Halloween (GMT -6), would you prefer to be "Pot" or "Kettle?" :) There are perfectly valid reasons to get scanned, especially by a well known white-hat tool like Nessus. Script-kiddies and spammers have much more robust/directed tools than a general purpose (slow) tool like Nessus. And from the link you sent about Midco, it looks like they did a fine job responding to your request; probably better than most *SP's would do. -davidu
