RE: [Nolug] Tons of DHCPREQUEST messages in syslog

Well, ya know....

I've been forwarding emails to abuse@home.com culled from my Portsentry
log for over a year now without so much as a "Thank You" from them. I
*only* send portscans that come *FROM* @home customers, and are
maliciously concentrating on specific ports. It looks for SirCam and
other associated worm signatures, and reports them as such.

What did I get from them, though? Grief. Blocked ports. Lagging 'net
times. (I mean after all, how many of us in Denham Springs are actually
on this segment anyways. I think I'm one of the few with teeth.)

I've told folk on many occasions that @home should look into the way tht
folks at Roadrunner do it. Folks in clubs that do their own support
(LUGs especially) got a $10 discount on their service, but got no
support. These folk got their statics for Linux at half price too. If
you were a demonstratable industry professional, you'd also get a
discount.

I'm sticking with @home through this, but with the DSL providers going
768 both ways and a static IP for $79, I'm more willing to shut off all
my cable services and go the way of the copper pair...

Ron,

Another reason the lease is so short is to drive the people that use
re-directing services nuts. :-)

Oh, and everyone can expect the network monitoring and abuse enforcement
to
be diligent. This is the network management aspect I have been trying
to
increase for some time. Once we are able to manage all aspects of our
network (once we are off of the @Home network) we will all benefit.
