paranoid I now am!! I always found the concept of script kiddies amusing ... but if I ever found this guy I'd ring his neck. Is there any way I can track him down ? (I have already backed up some stuff and wiped my hard drive) After following the debian "how to secure your system" instructions, I would like to go a step further and install snort or something. Is that going too far? ... is snort the relevant thing ? etienne
