Don't worry about contacting his ISP. Contact the FBI. "Eric L.

Try "whois [EMAIL PROTECTED]" It will come back with a BUNCH of info, including the fact that the address is assigned to a university in Portugal. :-) John
RE: [newbie] How do I turn in a hacker?
Or it's possibly an university student testing all the things he's learning about tcp/ip, sockets and ports and it's really quite harmless. From what I saw in the log report did not really demonstrate anything I would be inclined to call a serious attempt at hacking.

Re: [newbie] How do I turn in a hacker?
Thanks Steve, I have a zero tolerance for probing. One person pointed out to me that because this guy has a fixed IP address and would therefore have to be a moron to try cracking into other computers from his IP address, it is likely that the computer with this address has been cracked and is being used by the "Dark Side." Anyway, I didn't have any luck with whois, so I have no way of turning him in or warning him. -Original Message- From: Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, October 07, 1999 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] How do I turn in a hacker?
