Internet Attacks and Security

[Rich]

Not sure how many people might be interested, but this site has a lot of good info on the status of internet attacks. (The threat level was just raised this weekend)

Also, if you have a firewall which logs information on attacks check out this site. You can set up automatic submittal of the logs which are then added to the master database.

If anything, they are interesting reading. :D

The dshield link basically looks for your IP address in a their database. Thousands of firewall users submit their logs to them everyday, (I submit my cable connection logs every morning). If your machine has been hacked and it is attacking people, most likely it will show up in their database. If you want to test your firewall go to http://grc.com/intro.htm. He has some great info too.
