Re: Linuxconf scanning

We saw a scan like that too from the same host (211.169.82.130) at
05:54 PDT on Aug 5th.

APNIC was having connection problems yesterday but I managed to get
through to find out it was a Korean address and got
b0048228 () users bora net as the contact adress from KRNIC.  The IP
seems to be part of BORANET in Kyongnam, Korea.  I also e-mailed
abuse () bora net.  I haven't gotten any replies but haven't gotten any
bounces either.

Hope this helps,

  Jim

a quick whois shows the 210/8 & 211/8 subnets as delegated to the
asia-pacific region. queries to whois.apnic.net were butt-slow and didn't
respond.

did anyone else see this over the weekend?
