texte = 1) Ok, first of all, let me aplogize to everyone for wasting bandwidth on this off-topic nonsense. 2) Next, let me confirm that I must be, in fact, a paranoid freak of the first order, and 3) I will do my homework a little more thoroughly next time before turning to the list.So, I'm looking through my firewall logs like a crack-addict yesterday afternoon, right, and I noticed that I was pinged by NASA shortly after being pinged by DOD. Huh? The gov. spooks AND John Glenn are after me? This makes no sense. So I dig a little deeper and I notice that the majority of my PINGS in the last few weeks all resolve to networks identifying themselves as variations of something called 'skitter.caida.org' (Al Qaeda!? Oh no!).Seems as if the Skitter/Caida thing is 'watching' the net -- for purely research purposes, of course -- and it is using NASA and the DOD (among others) to help with the research.More info can be found here: http://www.caida.org/ Specific Monitors (including my ominous DOD IP) are here: http://www.caida.org/cgi-bin/skitter_monitors/main.plAgain, I apologize, everybody, especially SREGALADO@aol.com ; you can come back now. The monsters are only in my head.-Dan ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.StrongGraphicDesign.com (208) 319-0137 | Toll-free p/f 877-561-1656 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
