Should we be combining these into one thread? It would sure make it easier to check some of these pings against some that others are getting.

Great idea, Crank!

209.202.218.129
209.202.218.122
216.136.233.134

Oddly enough, since my report to my ISP, I haven't been a 'victim' of repeated probings. Hmmm....wonder why?

I believe that IP addresses that start with a "24" are optimum online. Did you run a "whois" on this?

213.189.81.16

Just attempted to activate a trojan horse on my system. Firewall blocked it. This traces back to qualitynet.net in Kuwait.

I emailed them to find out where to file my abuse report. I'm also forwarding it to AOL's fraud people as well.

You guys should get Neotrace. Go to download.com and do a search. It's shareware.

I have done a trace on over half the ip's in my firewall log and every one of them...starts in santa clara, ca. now this seems a bit odd to me and granted I am a novice at this stuff but there has to be an explanation...could that be a major "hub" so to speak for the internet? I find it hard to beleive that would be targeting my pc as i mostly lurked over at 's site and I don't get involved with any of the debates here...I just don't get it. I even did a trace on a couple outgoing alerts from my pc and it shows santa clara as well tracing backwards to first hop....so now i'm REALLY confused by all this tracing stuff.

This AM:

147.208.171.131

Santa Clara, CA

Hmmmm.....

Judy and Amy,
I traced the IPs you gave as well as numerous "hits" I had this AM all back to the same source in Santa Clara (see above).

I did a whois and came up with this:

147.208.171.131
Host unreachable

147.208.171.128 - 147.208.171.191

Symantec Corporation

It's interesting that they all originate in the same place but I don't know what the connection might be.

This is from the Symantic Trace A Potential Attack FAQ:

12. Does the trace originate from my computer or the Symantec Security Check server?
The trace originates from the Symantec Security Check server.



Symantic's security server is located in Santa Clara, which is why everyone is tracing back to Santa Clara (including me...)

I'm no expert, but I think this is the wrong tree we're barking up!

Your exactly right, robey rec'd an email back from them (intel) saying they host symantecs website so all searches from the traceroute system done on symantec website will show as santa clara being the first hop, they said that queries need to be made to the IP in the last hop as that is the one that was actually trying to gain access or blocked by firewall.

I should have posted it here. Thanks.
Several whoopings for me.....
Here it is:

Intel host the Norton site, and as such we always show up as one of the first hops on a traceroute when you click "show details". This in no way indicates that we would have anything to do with an attack. You are
only interested in the last two hops in determining the source of an attack. If you still have security concerns and would like us to look into something that you believes originates from a network Intel owns, more complete information such as router logs, source address and ports, and packet traces if possible are required.

I have been remiss in adding isp's here. I've been getting an average of 10-12 a day for at least a week. I just got tired of keeping track of the isp's. They seem to stop when I start posting them. So, back to posting them.
