Hi Adityan,
I usually have at least 3 terminals open on my desktop: one as raju,
another as root (since I keep wasting time configuring and
reconfiguring my system), and a third which shows me system logs in
color (which has to be as root, of course).
If you connect with real IP's to the 'net and haven't yet installed
portsentry and Colorlogs.pl, you should do so instanter, BTW. I get a
portscan for 31337 (the Back Orifice port) about once an hour on the
average. Maybe it's just my imagination, but most of them seem to
originate from Mantra. Anyway, portsentry kicks the idiots out in any
case, so I just smile an enigmatic smile and continue working on
further ruining^H^H^H^H^H^H^H enhancing my system.
Regards,
-- Raju
