Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Hackers defense: The computer did it

[Chris W <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I thought they were looking (via automated programs or scanners) for 
"interesting" systems that have open ports or report certain 
vulnerabilities, and then of course, cracking it outright.  Do they also 
care about bandwidth, or just getting their nasties on that open 
system?  Would a dialup user be any less attractive than, say, someone 
on a frac T3?  Of course, one *is* better than the other for anything 
you want to do, no doubt.
