My server emailed me this

My server emailed me this morning with 262 lines of Limiting closed port RST response from 253 to 200 packets per second. While I don’t know what the purpose of the was I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything noble like ending hunger or bringing about world peace. That wasn’t my first. Any net security virginity I’d had was lost just a couple days prior when I opened access to my G4 Cube so people could get to the web server on it. Within two hours of opening it people were already scanning it for IIS vulnerabilities.

Wouldn’t it be weird if people behaved this way in real life? Random people walking up to you and running their fingers all over your body. Poking things into whatever holes they find.
