I noticed some script kiddie from Southern California camping out on six
nodes on my board.  I'd kill one instance and he'd immediately reconnect.

So I looked his IP, put it into the BBS' firewall, restarted the firewall,
then went in, killed all of those instances and he hasn't been back.

I have ports 21, 22, and 23 open so I'm expecting to be attacked.  But I
have multiple layers of protection.

If anyone's interested,it looks like a smaller ISP called dock.net with a CIDR
of 206.72.64.0/19.

It's sad that almost all of these attacks are just with scripts.  Whatever
happened to real hacking?
