I really do want to keep my port 23 open, so that my users can telnet
to my BBS.
But as most of you probably know, there's a huge operation going on
with hijacked computers trying to connect to other port 23 computers.
Well, if you like me have Argus setup to answer incoming port 23
calls, you probably know that there's very little double escape
character response. So how do you handle this?
Originally I was planning on sending a huge response (as in typing a
big exe-file) but I abandoned that idea since it meant that my system
was hanging after the remote system quickly disconnected.
i've been writing about this stuff since july or august of MIRAI when
i first started writing IDS rules to detect the shite and block it...
it is exactly what my signature block talks of, too...
