And you will filter out those testing new security scanners, so as to not put their names on a potential future 'blacklist' also. And those just testingNobody should be "testing" a scanner against a network I administer without my express permission. The idea that scanning a foreign network for potential vulnerabilities without permission is valid behaviour is just plain wrong.
I totally agree. Yet, can I question: Have we not just reduced this to an arguement of cyber-moralities? For, I think, if you got my point that some probes are not searches for weakness, but, have some other, as yet mysterious reason behind them, I'm sure, I've watched the probes, can even initiate them. Are they infact abusive assualts?? Or are they just bad manners??!
