Hell, sometimes I don't know WTF is going on even when I do GREP my logs. Case in point. A routine GREP of the SYSLOG files has turned up a rather interesting trend lately. It seems that my Linux firewall has been receiving an unusual amount of connection attempts to port 1214 over the last week or so. Now, I don't know WTF port 1214 is (other than what is listed [link\|http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers\|here]), but I'm keeping an eye on it now and if I see any weirdness on the firewall, at least I won't be completely blind-sided. BTW, anybody know WTF could be going on with the above mentioned port connection attempts?

You mean other than the usual alt.binaries.cd.image.* and the alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.* groups? ;-) Nope. The highest total of hits seems to have ocurred on 11/24 thru 11/25, and at times I know I wasn't even at the computer. What the hell is KAZAA anyway?
