Exploit Upswing

I've noticed a lot of exploits from western Europe and Russia lately. They don't concern me much because all I do is firewall those offending subnets immediately then go about my business.

The present setup provides for a single firewall rule to control the entirety of LAN and WAN access.

The general thrust is either hijacking a remote desktop connection or meaningless web access via spiders.

Either way, I'm not there to be walked by some dummy with a spider they wrote. The thought of gaining remote access to my network is pretty laughable given the hoops through which jumping is required ... it's all looking like some young hacker wannabe trying to flex technical musculature which simply isn't there. Duh.

I remember having the same thoughts when I was a youngster in the beginning on the West coast accessing forbidden resources and getting into trouble.

Back then they would come and see you if you went to the wrong place because everything was dialup. With the advent of internetworking I suppose there simply are few resources for maintaining order ...

Or the impetus given that the bulk of jurisdictions are too preoccupied with lining their own pockets with taxpayer dollars much how the democratic party of the United States is presently engaged.

It's all okay though because maintaining control is fairly easy as long as you can whip up a firewall rule in short order — and I can.

As I always say, the resources are there for public access but behave or begone.
