Hi all,

I keep getting scanned on various ports (the usual 80, 23, 5190? I know
it is aim but not sure why people are looking for it) upon scanning the
systems back I find that they are only running a mail server on 110
(pop3) I am sorry I do not have banners that I have grabbed or anything
but I do have ip's for ya ;)

213.245.47.41
216.220.104.180
213.112.62.68 (this one is running a multitude of services at the time
of writing)
24.29.125.76

Anyone know anything about this? I don't really care because it is more
of an annoyance since I am not running any of the services they are
looking for (as always).

I just figured I would give the list a heads up since I found it
strange.

Cheers and have a good weekend all,

Leon
