    My sygate personal firewall blocked this crazy port scan. I got a shock when my firewall continuously alerted me for a rather long time that I was under attack. I've never seen such a port scan that would carry on longer than usual. Most port scans i get only last for 2 seconds then they stop. But this one from Pair Networks went on continuously! Would you believe it?
    The port scan came from:

    216.92.0.0 - 216.92.255.255

    Pair Networks
    4100 Butler St
    Pittsburgh PA 15201, USA.

    Take a look for yourself. To those people at Pair Networks, I will REPORT you to my ISP if you attack me one more time, just wait and see. I WILL NOT tolerate anybody who attacks me in this manner.

    I'd bet it is someone's computer that is infected and the user is clueless. I'd contact pair as it is one of their users.

    The attack always starts from here: http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox
    It only happens upon clicking this button:
    I suspect this website may be the source of this attack.

    Quote from the website


    "WARNING: If you run some of the tools listed below on your own IP address, your firewall or intrusion detection system may inform you on a "port scan" or "network attack" originating from qs153.pair.com (216.92.131.153). This is the return traffic from the traceroute or ping that you initiated rather than an intrusion attempt. Please keep this in mind when you analyze your firewall logs and think twice before e-mailing the network administrator, as we receive frequent complaints from newbies who think that someone is trying to break into their PCs. Thank you. "
