Unsolicated Access: Napster
Hello.

I recently installed a Personal Firewall and I've been able to trace potential attacks on my home office computer, and I notice that there are quite a few Napster Server Communications... type of access via port 4444.

I know that Napster is still operational and that they are supposed to be releasing a new "paid subscription" website by December 2003.

Just wondering if others have noticed this and what you've done to stop these types of potential "attacks".

EDIT: Looks like these unsolicitated access entries in my access firewall log is related to the Blaster Worm:

Isn't that what your firewall is for?

Paul,

Thanks for your continued smartass comments. Yes, it is, but potential attacks is still not appreciated.

Anyone else?
