RE: [cobalt-users] Extensive Hack Attack - Was C drive hack



Basic probability shows a linearly-increasing chance that Nimda (whose name comes from where?) will try to attack your Cobalt as the number of IP addresses you have rises. If you have extra IPs bound (esp a full Class C) and you don't need all of them, you can reduce your onslaught by unbinding IPs. On my RaQ3 with 4 IP addresses, I've gotten 28,412 log entries containing "cmd.exe" since 4:00 AM today.
