Hello all,

Need advice please, i have been a subject to a recent spout of hackings, is there anyway of tracing the people who hack into you system.

I want to obtain and trace the IP address of the person or persons in question so that i can mail there ISP and request that they monitor there connection for abnormal activity.

I know this is a very sensitive subject so if you wish email me..

Cheers

Steve

Get a copy of ZoneAlarm. Its firewall software, there is a free version on www.zonealarm.com. It has the ability to track IP addresses and resolve the numbers...

Give it a try...

Steve,

You're not by any chance using BTOpenworld are you.

Just I've got a local server running Apache to the outside world (test server). Should see the log file sometimes...

Said company have done feck-all about it...

They'll be spoofed. You need the efforts of the ISP to properly track down the perp'. And guess what? They don't give a munki's!
