I received this email today. The headers show it being sent from a machine in Korea. Everything in the headers is forged, but I just can't figure out what the motive is behind it. Also, at the end of the email, there was a gif and I included the embedded html link. Has anyone else seen this? I have munged the IP's. Hi my name is Sarah Pricer, a CS graduate student at UC Berkeley. I obtained your email address from www.arin.net when searching for the IP block(192.168.64.0 - 192.168.64.255 ) that you coordinate. I'm currently writing a thesis on the network topology and would very much appreciate your cooperation. I am trying to draw out a map of how the IPs are distributed geographically. I realize that the IP registration data often times have country/state/city information that are different from the actual physical location of where the IPs are used. Arin data currently shows that 192.168.64.0 - 192.168.64.255 is registered to: Country: US State: VA City: MCLEAN Can you please tell me if this is the actual physical location of the IPs? If not, can you please tell me the actual location? Again, thank you for your cooperation. warm regards, Sarah P. <http://211.33.122.158/icons/1/cal_1506.gif> Jason Lewis http://www.packetnexus.com "All you can do is manage the risks.
