Re: Scans from proxyprotector.com

["Anthony Papaleo" <papaleo () ameritech net>]

This guy has scanned my system a dozen or so times in the last two days.

He can't be legitimate: If he is supposedly a security professional, he
would not perform scans of this type uninvited.
My BlackIce PF calls this suspicious activity, "...TCP port probes directed
at ports 3128, 8000, and 8080, which may indicate that an attacker is
searching the system for a proxy server."

By the way, he is also showing up looking a for a SOCKS server..."TCP port
probes directed at port 1080, which may indicate that an attacker is
scanning to determine if the system is running SOCKS."
