Hi.
QUESTION 1.
I have some odd behavior on my tracker and was wondering if anybody knew
what it is. If I allow others to use my tracker I get these,
http://caffeinated.homelinux.net:6969/ see the uncategorized ones.
There's no torrent file to download. If I stop and remove them they
instantly appear again.
I think this is the person doing it,
Request: 64.192.77.223
connecting to whois.arin.net [69.25.34.144:43] ...
Williams Communications, Incorporated WCG-BLK-5 (NET-64-192-0-0-1)
64.192.0.0 - 64.193.255.255
Airwave Networks WLCO-TWC02116350-AIRWAVE-NETWORKS-BLK-2 (NET-64-192-72-0-1)
64.192.72.0 - 64.192.79.255
What's that just a regular ISP address like I'd get from comcast?
Anyway, I block this address from using my tracker, remove the ghost
like torrents, and don't ya know the same thing pops up again but with
a different address! Is it just another p2p client being a pain, a
bug, or something unfriendly?
QUESTION 2.
I'm getting port scanned daily. What is the proper reaction? Nail biting? :)
Thanks for any tips.
-Eric
