[TriLUG] so you think you've been rooted...

[Brian Henning]

Second.  I'm a nobody on the internet; I just happen to run my own
e-mail, web, etc. server.  I got rooted a few years back, in order that
my machine could be used as a source for sending out phishing e-mails.
Would-be attackers just scan subnets for vulnerabilities.  They care not
who you are.

I was curious if anyone knew if a bot had feelings or discriminated
from one site to the next? If you are out there, you should be
prepared. You can't expexct to wave your Jedi hand and say "you don't
really see us b/c we are small and insignificant"
