I strongly recommend downloading, building and running PortSentry from
http://www.psionic.com/abacus/portsentry/

I have run it with great success on FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris.

In the last five days, the port scans to my entire class C have dramatically

Is there a new exploit around, or is there some sort of new worm out there?

I might just be paranoid, but here are the addreses that have been looking
for port 111 in the last 26 hours:

24.26.121.156
24.168.66.119
64.31.226.156
142.169.227.102
193.226.15.15
211.218.144.11

Hey
I've been experiencing the same kind of scans in the last 2 weeks, with
increased density in the last days, from these ip addreses:

211.120.63.136
213.154.132.122
210.205.6.215
24.114.48.24
62.83.125.82
193.231.199.4
193.40.223.66
65.3.3.83
193.230.227.234

Just one question: How do you detect these scans ?
I can't find anything in my logs, but I don't have programs like
portsentry running. What can you (all) advice me ?

Kind regards,

Jan
