While I was typing a post a few minutes ago, something unusual happened. My Norton AntiVirus 2008 popped up a notification that an intrusion event was blocked. When I clicked on it, it said this:
 What is this "NMap Xmas Scan"? FYI, I resized that image down to 75%. If it is still too large, here is the link to the original print screen: http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/2345/1navpopupjv3.jpg Another pop up saying the exact same thing occurred at 10:46 Central Time. |

Thank you Dataman.
I'm sure that security scan will frighten lots of members. Not to mention schools, offices, etc. |

It is very unfortunate that the NAV incorrectly identified the cause. I'm going to do some additional investigation since the firewall reported port 80 rather then the traceroute port. It is possible that the hosting center has upgraded the Avaya software they use to optimize the network topology and routing. I'll post back with what I find. |
