Duck and cover! The Chinese are attacking! Ok, may be that is not what is happening! But at any rate- it is advisable not to probe the attacker. The best defense on the net for us commoners is to remain completely stealthy. Trying to probe the attacker will just give away more data for the attacker to use. Don't risk it unless you are a security expert. You should consider using a firewall to completely block any intrusion attempts (Firestarter or iptables). Once you set up the firewall, you can go to this site to make sure you are stealthy:

And the chinese characters may not necessarily mean that it is in china. Anyway, besides firewall- I also recommend that you check your system for any rootkits (chkrootkit).
