OT: should i report portscans to ISP?
Hei!
Firstly, i am a linux newbie. I have a small network of computers here,
which i have to look after. This network is connected to internet via debian
woody firewall. This firewall is being portscanned quite often. Those
scans originated from a computer, which has same ISP as me. As far as i
can tell, my firewall has not being compromised in any way. If those
scans were prelude to some kind of attack, this attack either never took
place or it failed. So my question is: what should i do? Should i report
this to my ISP? Should i block the IP address of the scanner? (This is
probably bad idea, since we have here dynamic IP-addresses) I don't want to
overreact in any way. I am very new at this network security
administrator field.
TIA. Namarie!
