Same ole Problem Children

It's amazing how the issues associated with hack attempts and other exploits remain as static as they do. I'd like to think that they were ever changing as the seashore but indeed — they remain the same groups at the same subnets with the same poor show they always exhibit.

Persons attempting open relay capture of another persons mail server is pretty slimy. However, it persists and from the same places as in the first 3 iterations of the server cluster.

The shabby scrape attempts likewise are pretty much from those same foreign agents they've always been.

The attempts to hack my ftp server likewise are pretty sophomoric and ineffectual. People should practice keeping their own stuff safe and leaving that of everyone else alone.

I don't see this happening, however.

Though I don't fully understand the allure I am content to throw up those brick walls in the face of the exploiter.

My hopes that they will all die simply are not coming to pass.

So I am always on the lookout for some agent to block, some problematic subnet to firewall, some other .htaccess methodology available to me to keep them halfway at bay.

I detest the cheap shot persons driven to exploit the assets of others out here on the internet.
