Hola all, I have had a few attacks on my laptop which Norton firewall stops (I hope). I get asked if I want to see the details of the attack. When I click "Yes" it tells me their IP address and the area the attack originated from.

My question is, is there anything I can do to report this using the info ? Or would that be a waste of time as I have heard some people use proxy servers to hide their location ?

Cheers

Angus

unless they actually caused some damage you will have a hard time getting anyone to do anything
its not technically illegal to do probes and such

i did a ton of that to some CIA addresses for some security training i was doing

you might want to save the info incase they try such things again tho

 

Aaah, ok..Thanks for that Phoenix.

You can do an IP lookup on the address - often this brings up sufficient details of the host ISP to report if you see fit. What your looking for in this instance is the [email protected] account.


You may be p1ssing into the wind in most cases, but it is certainly the correct course of action (not necessarily the most suitable and satisfying one )
