Hey all,

I have to tip my hat to the folks at Symantec this time around. Back around the 19th a hacker started a brute force attack to get past my firewall on my computer. it had no effect till about 2 days ago when they were hammering me pretty good that the service frame work started to fail under the constant attack.

This person was not going for quitely slipping in...No, this attack was akin to a burgler trying to kick in every door with a sledge hammer. I went as far as unplugging my computer from the network and scanning it with my virus scanner and other tools. I pluged it back in 12 hours later and the attacks came back...

I got on the horn with Symantec and the tech updtated and patched my Norton so that the framework would stop failing and this guy would not get in. Thanks Syed...

My best guess, It was an Automated attack on my network because of the brute force used to try and get in; Since they threw everything in the book at my fire wall to get in...very messy and no finesses. It makes me wonder just what kind of system they were thinking they were trying to get into use so much force.

Keep an eye out guys.
