No kidding. The port 1433 scans I was seeing (still see from time to time) were not ANYTHING like as frequent as these port 137 scans - I've had 93 since logging on just over 100 minutes ago. This, with a stealthed firewall...

Next thing you know, ISPs are going to have to start filtering NetBIOS traffic - which, over a WAN, may not be a bad thing < g >

>Yep. I still get a zillion hits a day trying to get into my SQL Server because of that stupid SQL-Worm gizmo that scans IP's searching for SQL Server databases that didn't get a password setup in them. http://www.eeye.com/html/Research/Tools/sqlworm.html and then the virus version explaination of it http://shop.osborne.com/osborne/virus_alert/voyager_alpha.shtml
>I wonder how long it will be before the bandwidth on the net being used for scanning/hacking attempts will exceed that of the people actaully trying to do something productive.
