This might be obvious, so i apologize in advance. I just wanted to point out that this is probably the no.1 security fallacy I hear among my endlusers.

Once "owned" your box becomes a "safe machine" from which a blackhat can launch anonymous attacks. Any trace will come back to you. I think of it this way, how would I like my personal machine's IP address to show up in a DDoS attack log against FBI.org? That usually motivates me to spend a little extra time on my personal net's securiy. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
