Your network is being scanned for vulnerabilities. This may happen only once a month or twice a day, regardless, there are people out there probing your network and systems for weaknesses. I can say this with confidence because I have yet to work on a network that has not been probed. My personal network of six systems at home is on a dedicated ISDN line. This network has no valuable data, nor represents any organization, yet I get probed two to four times a week. If you have a system or network connected to the Internet, you become a target. This article will discuss how you can protect yourself by detecting these intrusion attempts. I will then cover what you can do when you discover these attempts.
