Hi Jorge,

My recommendation, other than make sure your public IP systems are properly
hardened, is to do nothing. Continuous scans and brute force login attempts
are the norm on the Internet. For every ISP that pays attention to your
complaints, 10 will ignore you.

Asunto: what should I do when....

for the last 2 days I've been getting lots of connections attempts on my
firewall logs(ipcop firewall), from a specific ip based in Canada, the log
is showing a
*
*
NEW not SYN?

it seems that someone is trying to initiate a connections, or may be a scan.
Although the good thing is that the firewall is detecting them therefore
stopping them, I'm getting worried of hacker activity, I've already done ip
lookup, and dns whois query both of those point to ip and host in Canada it
seems to be a company as I got their public website and also private
network.....could anyone advice me what's the proper course of actions in
this case?....

thanks
