Hi Leo!

About 12 years ago I read with interest an article in Wired magazine about China digging, sometimes by hand, trenches to bury fiber optics. This would connect the major cities in China , thus creating a huge Intranet .... their goal was to only have one connection to the Internet, giving the Government more control. I wonder ... if the Network attack originated from within their Intranet, is it exiting via their one Internet connection?

Also something to think about, this Intranet if hooked to the Radar Defense system cold possibly couple the radar into a large format for the country ... I have more thoughts but would rather discuss off line.

Thanks for a great column!

Charlie

From what I read, Leo, the government of China is making various attacks on whatever American computers it can, hoping to find a way to create havoc just in case. Apparently they have breached the Pentagon's computers several times. Your tactics should keep them out of our personal computers. Thank you.

Leo, You are bang on in your comment "they actually prioritize certain IP address blocks". The smarter ones try to on blocks that are "static" addresses assigned by service providers to small businesses thinking that small businesses will be less protected and have a greater payoff upon successful intrusion. Too many smaller businesses believe that their relative size is a form of protection unto itself. Not so.
