Hackers scanning IP ranges
August 28, 2008 – 3:20 pmWell, I have to say, this is quite a clever way of looking for potential targets!
We have a Chinese hacker (the IP is Chinese) who is apparantly checking all the IP addresses in our new block for vulnerabilities.
This is more impressive than the usual brute-force attacks we say day to day; I can’t believe how many times you’ll see in a logfile someone attempting to ftp using ‘administrator’ or ‘root’ as the username… I guess these low-tech hacking attempts must work occasionally though, otherwise there would be no point.
