My IDS has some Interesting reports.. got attacks from a security blog server

In the LUC course, we wrote an IDS program in perl. After setting up my own server, I put my IDS there and add on some simple features. When ever there is an possible attack, no matter if it's brute force, port scan, I will block the source IP and also port scan back with "nmap -A -PN", then output the result in my apache directory. It's been running for a while. And my IDs has collected quite a lot of interesting reports.

As far as I know, the source IP can be a hacked machine or from a network. Althought I may not able to track down the attacker, but I would like to see where it's from. One of the source has an entry mentioned about an site called "http://echelon.pl/", it blog talk about IT security or.. IPSec... I'm thinking how could it end up attacking my server? haha...

Tne entry:

106/tcp open pop3pw Poppassd 1.8.5 (http://echelon.pl/pubs/poppassd.html)

Anywya, if you're interested, you can see all the nmap result here.. And have some mercy.. don't hack my server.. ;-)

FREE Photogrphier for Open Source and Seneca!!

Dessert Flower, love the contrast

Just bought a new lens, Nikkor 50mm F1.4. It's super amazing!!! It's not expensive tho, I bought a used one for $320, a new one is around $350. It's actually a mid-priced lens. cos the top one should be 50mm F1.2 or 80mm F1.4. But.. u know what? this is amazing!! When I first saw the photos, i was like.. OMG.. are those really my photos? hahaha..

I would love to dedicate my hobby to all every one involved in open source and Seneca. Let me know if I could help you. And I'll try my best!

PS: look at my tittle, geez.. i should be in media instead of computing. Maybe I've read too much gossip magazine, hahaha..
