Fascinating stuff. I've been opening up my router for use with p2p to make things easy. Have a software firewall and it seems to block all scans that come from my local country (abuse.com) and from a range of countries from China to Germany. The firewall seems to block eveything, but this thread gives pause to take a closer look. How can we "sniff" these intrusions? I'm using Norton Personal Firewall Pro. It does an IP search and it is from that search I conclude that the firewall was successful in protecting my system--but not from IP identy, of course. What are we trying to protect? Identity or abuse?
