SKRIPT-KIDDIES MAL WIEDER...
Seit Tagen versucht sich ein vHost von server4you.de per SSH selten dämlich an unserem Server auszutoben:
Jan 24 13:13:26 sshd[14029]: Invalid user r00t from 85.25.130.167<br /> Jan 24 14:19:35 sshd[14029]: Invalid userr00tfrom 85.25.130.167<br /> Jan 24 15:27:09 sshd[14029]: Invalid user r00t from 85.25.130.167
[…]
Wenn er es schnell genug hintereinander probiert, dann erwischt ihn fail2ban. Ansonsten darf er sich zu seinem Kollegen von serverloft.eu gesellen, den ich vor ein paar Tagen ebenfalls schon geerdet habe:
# iptables -A INPUT -s 85.25.130.167/32 -j DROP
Bye, bye.
PROJECT 365: CAMERA SERVICE
The 40D is going to be serviced today. There is way too much dust on the sensor, it’s clearly visible in the pictures. I sent it to the German Canon dealer Martin Achatzi. I ordered various lenses from him in the past; his customer service is so incredibly great, it makes me feel like I’m back in the States…
Update: I had the camera back in my hands in almost 48 hours! And the invoice was even less than 25 Euros, including shipping (in both directions)!
PROJECT 365: NEW THINKPAD
No, I’m not turning my back on my Mac. Definitely not. 🙂
It was time to get a typical “office” laptop for one of my relatives. Web, E-Mail, text documents, and spreadsheets. The usual suspects. I chose the Lenovo Thinkpad SL510, upgraded to 4 GB RAM.
This was actually the first time I got my hands on a Windows 7 installation. Looks not too bad.
