Just a thought, but maybe a letter from one of your client's legal counsel (something like "intrusion attempts from your network have continued despite multiple attempts to warn and we are forced to assume this is intentional)I'm not sure I see your logic in equating "probes" (from the OP) to "intrusion attempts"...
The idea is to get their attention with a "vigorous defense" (or whatever the appropriate legalese is) rather than be highly specific -- consider who would actually be reading the letter. You're completely correct, port scans aren't intrusion attempts (though they could potentially be precursors), and the language (such as it was) really was just off the top of my head. I assume that a real lawyer would have a much better idea of what should go into such a letter than I would, anyway. -- Kyle Maxwell [krmaxwell () gmail com] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test Your IDS Is your IDS deployed correctly?
