Re: [cobalt-users] Port scan originating from cobalt.com



Could be:

Cobalt Linux release 5.0 (Pacifica)
Kernel 2.2.14C5 on an i586

A very old kernel for a raq3

Old proftpd

Seems like a box that has not been updated in a long time and not on the cobalt network. I see that port 110 (pop3) and 143 (imap) are not open. Maybe someone got in that way?
