Patrick, you're exactly right. Once a "blockable" offense occurs in
BlackICE--and there are not many--then while the IP is blocked every attempt
to access the server whether legitimate or not will be logged in one way or
another . While the IP is still blocked, if you're interested in more detail
in the UI, you can go into the Advanced Firewall Settings screen to see
exactly when the block began (and then look in the Events list to find the
event that caused the block at that time). Also if you add the column to the
Events view called Parameter(s), you will be able to see in that column
which logged events BlackICE had firewalled (it will say
"reason=Firewalled").
