I suggest a call to the FBI. You can sometimes go to www.arin.net to see
who owns the IP's where the attacks are coming from. I have done this in
the past. The IP owners normally ask for a section of the log files that
show the time and IP, destination IP etc. and I know they will shut down
offending users. Most of the owners have been Internet providers.

Subject: dealing with hackers


Users,

I see stray attempts in the log files to execute programs,
scripts, etc that I can only explain as someone attempting
to hack into my server.  So far Apache has rewarded them
with 404's.  My firewall logs shows all sorts of stray
hits against my IP.

(1) Are there established guidelines for dealing with hackers
     that try to circumvent a web server or computer's security?

(2) At what point does it become a legal issue?

Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave
