RE: [cobalt-users] Hacked Into

Remember you can still be scanned and the port discovered and used, I
suggest that everyone trying running nmap and point at their system.

You can find it at www.insecure.org/nmap I believe.

When you scan a windows box or most networks you'll be MOST terrified.  Be
sure to scan your own net or those you have permission to scan and not just
indiscriminately.

I used to get dozens of anonymous ftp probes a day.  I have it disabled, but
lots of people keep trying anyway, some with ten or more probes per second.

Since I am the main user of my server, I just moved ftp to a different port
and changed the config on my client (Dreamweaver).  Now I worry less about
an ftp exploit.  :-)
