Hi,

having read the sentence above in this list last week 
I started to smile, until there was a portscan from 
korea the same day.

So if Korea is a classic, it is at least a classic 
tragedy:-(

For the source there were no WHOIS entries at APNIC
        http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl
(is APNIC located in Korea ? seems to be tragic, too).

So I found out, that it came from KAIST (some "hightech"
university over there). And no chance to reach someone
concerning in security there. No RFC 2142 compliant 
adresses like "abuse@" or "security@".

And how about this ? Hacker News Network
        http://www.hackernews.com/
reports that there will be a hacking contest held
by KAIST, more info under:
http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/news/2000/05/__10/20000515_1023.htm

I think I start loving the idea blocking these korean
networks. Or did they already start their "contest" ?

Sorry for my sarcasm, Jens Hektor
