polksalet Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 We used to get a good deal of supplies from these people before we got everything out of Texas. http://www.todaysthv.com/news/local/story....026&catid=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It's not a personal thing against Rice Warehouses. The way I understand that it works is that hackers run a scrip that goes out through public IP addreses.... probably starting with 1.1.1.1, 1.1.1.2, 1.1.1.3... that sort of thing. It can probably do thousands per minute. Ping the IP, is it alive? Try to open port 80, 22, 43 for any way in... http, ftp, sftp, ssh, telnet... If they get something responding asking for a login, it'll try to use an exploit to gain access, or try a dictionary list for admin passwords. If it gets in, it uploads a back door and flags it so the hacker can come back later and do whatever he wants, or he'll just push out a virus to all the web servers on the list so he can infect more people for his botnet to send out spam or use in DDS attacks. If you are a good sysadmin and you keep up with your updates and make sure your passwords are strong, this should never happen to you. It exploits the weak and lazy.
