Subject: [Snort-users] GNUTELLA goes berserk

I noticed this a while back. Every now and then snort will pick up lots of
 portscan on port 6346, which is used by Gnutella.

I know that that there are users on my private LAN that use Gnutella, but
not at the times that Snort has detected the portscans.

Has anyone seen anything similar ?

Any explanation to this ?

Report those AOL MTA's to mail-abuse, get them added to the RBL database.
That will teach AOL :)



Wow.  Spam.

I was just wondering if anyone else was getting spam from AOL
mail servers with the from address the same as the to
address.  This just started showing up in my bosses mail box.

someone is trying to use your mailserver as a gateway, it is a common
spammer technique to use the @localhost as the from address for spam, and
basically your mail server has no anti-spam measures in place, get me off
list and i can point you in a good direction to help alleviate that.

I know it was kinda a moronic (is that a word) question.  The
thing that got my interest was the using the same address in the
from and to fields.  I just thought it might be something new
that the spammers were tring to get by blacklists.

Anyone can do this, there's no trickiness invloved:

From: spammer () aol com
To: spammer () aol com
Bcc: yourboss () shouldbeusingaol com, everyone () else com, etc.

The message that comes through looks exactly like the one you described.
Nothing wrong with sending mail to yourself, especially is you have multiple
personalities like me (and me).
