[Quakerfriend]

..or is this routine?:scared:

[casual hex]

1. How do you know...

it's the DoD?

[Quakerfriend]

2. I am reviewing the addresses.

kinda creeps me out. :-(

[hopein08]

9. How do you check your firewall?

I'm slightly computer retarded.

[seabeyond]

20. how do you know that address you review if from dod. my husband

is a computer guy. i asked him if he looks, he said he does but just shows ip address. how would you know it is dod ip address

3. If the DoD REALLY wanted to watch you...

...they probably wouldn't be hitting your firewall. In fact, you'd probably already be in some "undisclosed location."

[Swamp Rat]

6. Yep... in Guantanamo, Egypt, etc.

Anyway, they have REAL enemies to monitor. Not 100s of millions of parti-time bloggers. :)

4. Probably a continuous script designed to look for a crack in the firewall.

The lizards do not have enough personnel to monitor every American posting on political boards and chat rooms. To be on the safe side I have multiple firewalls, each with 128 bit encryption, and a few other goodies they will NEVER figure out. ;)

More people are monitoring THEM than they can imagine... who have much better computer skills. :D

8. Thx Swamp Rat

for the reassurance!

And, I like the idea of multiple firewalls.:9 :thumbsup:

19. Very easy to do.

You can do it via software built into your operating system AND by using more than one router. ;)

5. They watch

everybody who is related to the demand for peace,conscientious objection, animal rights,feminism,anarchists,any kind of worker rights, Anyone basically who boldly speaks out against bush,his buddies ,the rigid elitist,dishonest and criminal beliefs of neocons,and anyone who is sick of the theocracy in the fundie church.Because to THEM being a liberal or left means we are their mortal enemies and you know what they say,keep your friends close,keep your enemies closer. So of course these control freak narcissists who are scum and pathological to the core want to maintain the already crumbling illusion they can do no wrong,so for them knowing WHO says what about them and their evil practices is vital to maintaining an illusion of"rightness"their paranoid world,because deep down they know what atrocities they have done and continue to do,even when we don't.Because if we know what they did and know we would be hustling them off to the guillotines pronto.That is what illegitimate power behaves like..They spy,meddle,control,scam,bully,abuse,torture,exploit,pillage,loot,rape, ,destroy,distract,create fake dilemmas,manipulate ,scam and lie their asses off to keep what stolen wealth and prestige they got and to grab ever forward for more..And maintain the illusion they are good people when really they are depraved ,dangerous and so morally inferior they are unfit to breathe the air in this tortured,confused struggling,suffering world.

7. Prolly some lackey maintenance guy who's a closet liberal

:shrug: :D

10. They may have infected PC's that are scanning for vulnerable pc's.

Prosaic but not entirely unlikely explanation.

[Marr]

11. I get hits from the DoJ on my site all the time.

I don't know if it's a like-minded employee or Big Brother, but there you have it.

[Fescue4u]

12. give them more credit than that.

if the DOD wanted to harm you, I doubt they would be using script
kiddies

btw what address do you see hitting you?

[TahitiNut]

13. What IP block?

Probably a bored SP/4. :shrug:

[No Exit]

14. I don't know, but give your loved one your DU password, so if

they "disappear" you, your loved one can notify us and I, for one, promise to raise holy hell.

[Me.]

15. Fear Not Quakerfriend

I believe you are stronger than them. Fear is the ultimate weapon. Don't give them the satisfaction.

[jim3775]

16. Post the log of the traffic, I would like to see what IP it is from and...

what port it is trying to connect to.

[KerryOn]

17. What port are the hitting? n/t

[kansasblue]

18. I agree, dump all the technical data here for us techies to

review and learn and document.
