I'd
love to hear any results from a cable-modem connected user, to see
if hackers are scanning there yet or not.

My @Home cable-modem connected host is constantly scanned for Back Orifice and
several common Linux vulnerabilities (imap, sunrpc). I also get random probes
for telnet and ftp servers. I see several probes per day, about 50% from other
@Home customers, and the rest from outside.

One yahoo probes me twice per day, at random times, on the PC/Anywhere port
(5632).
