check your netstat log!!

Ok, I had a big scare today.
It seems my bit torrent days may be numbered.. I found someone had leached onto my box through one of my open ports for BT.
I could not shake them, what's worse they somehow were in as root!!
I lost it man. Put their ip addy in my deny list and rebooted, they are gone now but it's a little reminder how fragile network security is.

Linux users can run command as follows..

netstat -N-e

Some dude in the UK using Demon.net on a DSL line it seems.

btw... bit torrent tracker will be down until I lock this down better.
