"hackers"

[procrastronaut]

so I have an ftp server on my home computer, just so I can get files from lab and other places etc. It's handy for writing and stuff. But since it's a server, people who obviously consider themselves to be "hackers" or maybe hakkerzz or some shit see it and, since it exists, try to break in. If I were the government I could understand. Or someone who might have something useful. But it's just a PC with some random files on it. Now, I am not a hacker. But I know a few things about security. Generally, don't have a password that's retarded. The nice thing is, when someone logs in once a second with the user name "administrator" and passwords that come from a list of common passwords, I know they're not getting in so I don't even have to kick and ban them. And for anyone else out there, never use any of these terms as your password for "administrator"
