    While the scans may have come from those IP's, keep in mind the IP's could have been spoofed as well.

  3. Perhaps the feds are checking up on you because of your connections with holyfather.

    I spent quite some looking into all that "in the woods" etc story. I DL'd the UK made TV documentary that got pulled by most US etc TV stations just before airing, Amazing, so thanks for posting.

    It's been happening again today all in half an hour, more of these types of "Unusual" attempted probes to my PC, that all got blocked. And the DOD is a repeat too. I havn't been checking 24/7 because i'm not worried at all lol, as i'm not doing anything illegal !

    All these were NOT identified with ANY Source DNS name in my FW logs, i had to look them up.

    Here's a thread with other reports from late last year also port 1026 etc, on DOD probes. http://forums.phoenixlabs.org/archive/index.php?t-1227.html

    The United States Department of Defense, abbreviated as DoD or DOD and sometimes called the Defense Department http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Department_of_Defense

    As well as the other probes before, i have found all my USB modem drivers have mysteriously uninstalled themselves on three occassions after reboots over a two week period. Couple this with frequent daily disconnects and data slowdowns from my ISP, and no credible answers or solutions from them. Emails that got bounced back ? stalling, and only evasion and trying to pass the buck from one dept to another, with promises that their Tech people are on it and would phone me. They still have not !

    All these things could be mere coincidence of course, but ?

    Well let them waste time and other peoples money "if" they are targetting me directly, it won't make any difference to me. All very interesting and amusing, apart from the disconnect and slowdown problems that is, and i can't wait to see what happens next ? And the funny thing is, i know that it's happening, but they don't know that i do !

    Well it's still going on, and once again these are all to ports 1025 - 1029, and like before they don't automatically get resolved in my FW logs, i had to do a whois to get them from the numbers ?

    This is just a sample selection from over the last week or so of the Really obvious ones. There have many others from universities in the USA and elsewhere too. Also some big name companys.

    Those that come from the universities are really malicious, perhaps there is a hacker among the students. As for those coming from the authorities, has the US government started using these tactics to spy on people? Or the computers at the Pentagon are infected or something or some soldier's fooling around with the computer at the base!

    164.141.87.75 = Police Administration in Finland

    Is the police officer up to something? :cautious:

    StevieO consider reporting them here: http://www.mynetwatchman.com/
    I don't give a damn who the hell is conducting port scans, even if they're from the government.

    Pretty strange. I would go outside and see if there is a flying saucer on the roof just in case your
    firewall is blocking an important message like this:

    That's pretty funny lol, and i like the alert box too.

    One of the curious things about all of this, is that i'm on a dynamic IP. So either they are scanning thousands and thousands of port ranges, which seems very dumb and a complete waste of time so i can't believe that is happening, or they are specifically targetting people/someone. For what reasons i have no idea, but they won't get in here anyway no matter how many times they try, or through any of the 65,000 + ports, as i'm stealthed.

    I'll keep watching on and off to see if keeps happening, and if the tactics change etc. It's a bit like James Bond, or would that be the Matrix, but for real lol

    I get quite a few of those DoD probes on the same ports. I'm pretty sure they're botted computers sending out Windows Messenger spam.

    My prediction is that those botted computers are being used by hackers to send out messenger spam and they spoof the name and content of the message to make the end-user think its from the government or some other authorised agency.

    Yes I've also done that wood stuff (seems to be a ridiculous tradition) last week, but I'm waiting for the Feds to knock on my door LOL

    They could be botted computers sending out stuff on Windows Messenger ports, but i never see the messages as i have WM etc disabled. So if they do spoof the name and content of the message, it doesn't apply to me.

    All my ports are stealthed by my FW and block everything, apart from the ones i'm using to surf of course.

    If they were bots how could they actually utilise all those IP numbers like the official DOD ones etc ?
