Re: OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?
I use BlackICE defender, and since I switched from @Home Cable serivice to Qwest DSL service, I have noticed a 10 fold increase in attempted HTTP Port Probes, Backorfice scans, Trojan Scans, TCP Port Probes, Fragment Overlaps, UDP Port probes, and the list goes on. I estimate over a 1000 hits in the Last week alone.
This tells me that there are many bad people out there who would love to violate my system and reck havock upon my computer.

Atrocities, BlackIce is one of the worst firewalls......
Use zonealarm (they have one Version free and a PRO Version).

Re: OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?
I've heard that the latest Version of Zonealarm (2.6.231) can cause stability and connectivity problems for people with cable modems, anybody want to share your experience with it?

Re: OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?
It does. I used Zone Alarm for a long time. BlackICE is good for detecting, and in combination with "other" programs that I use, is doing quite well. Thanks for the info though, and stay protected.

The server may not have been hit by the ORIGINAL Code Red but there are at least two new variants now starting to circulate. How infectious these are and if they have adjusted for the patch remains to be seen. Looks like life on the Internet is not going to get safer anytime soon.

Re: OT - Shrapnel Games server hit by Code Red?!?
Anybody care to propose a solution (no matter how draconian) to the hacker problem? Seems to me to be the new millenium's Version of graffiti, and just as hard to combat. Do you send some teenager to jail for "spray-painting" the net? And yet, it's more costly to society than old-fashioned vandalism. Also, ironically, it is much more likely to strike at the middle-class than at ghetto-dwellers.
