I have a cable internet and I run Jammer (in preference to Zone Alarm). My ISP provides dynamic IP addresses as well. Jammer often reports scanning activity and when I have been scanned several times from the same source I have reported the matter to my ISP and they tell me they have taken action. The thing is the frequency of scanning attacks seems to be on the increase. My son uses Napster, so I was wondering if that may be a cause or are there more and more wannabe hackers out there?
Also when I detect someone scanning me, is there anything I can do to give them some of their own medicine?
Chris.
