On debian-user it was suggested I also post this here, thanks, Michael -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian user <[email protected]> Subject: security Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2005 09:46:31 +0000 I notice that frequently many machines around here get attacked by a potential hacker (a prog I guess) trying lots of usernames to get in to all the machines, using the same set of usernames at the same time. Have people seen this on their machines? I'm guessing it's a virus/worm on a Windows box doing this but does anybody know more?
I've followed & done most of the suggestions listed in chpts 4 & 5 of "Securing Debian" HowTo/Manual although I will admit to not following and therefore not having got around to firewalling. Other suggestions most welcome.
