I receieved a lot of scans from different IPs this evening in a small space of time after I connected to the internet (Dynamic IP). Am I being paranoied or is there a distributed attack?
Howdy Chris, Since the IP's dynamic, all of this could be fallout from the previous user of the IP, who could have vacated it just before you were assigned it. The UDP 31337 packet could of been part of a scan, or an uninvited session to the box using the IP before you :-[ Anyway, I think it's just paranoia on this one :-) az
