All these comments to use neotrace and other little tools like samspade
are silly. Nice little point and click toys for those folks that are
stuck in windows and do not understand how to do a simple whois from a
commandline to the proper authority in question. sheesh folks, the man
had the IP address in question already in his logs, so a simple:
whois [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Points you to the whois server at ripe.net, so:
whois [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and the man has all the info needed to know whom to contact about the
probes.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne
