it's practically puttin me to sleep at this point...

took this screenshot like 5 minutes ago..

I block 1 ip...and like 10 others like this pop up..

Is there a simple something that auto-blocks IP's if their attempting so many connections at once like this guy..? ...like I could set the # amount ..

Does this screen indicate he's just scanning ports...or he's attempting many connections at once as well ?

It's TCP by the way..had to block off the left side...knowing there's probably hackers galore creepin here.

edit: just noticed that IP is Prudential Insurance...what the..

Well thanks for the votes of confidence.

look at that, the newbie pulls out a winner. (either that or you were google'ing better than me

Do you have a firewall in place? If so, can you post the output of iptables-save here.

astro, it's too much of a security risk for me to do so at this point.

whats your thoughts on that though. (screenshot) Was that just someone scanning ports, or attempting connections (dos-like) as well ?

Trust me, it's like that all day long. different IP every 2 minutes.. I have IPTABLES restricted to just my IP..for all the important stuff like FTP , SSH , etc.. But still doesn't prevent them doing , like they do in screenshot. Software firewall = currently. Thinking of hardware firewall...soon. maybe very soon.
