@SpaceLifeForm
You will not see it.
There will be no evidence in your server logs.
There will be no smoking gun.
Oh, please! Halloween was 3 weeks ago. More to the point, this is a security blog; save your paranoid fearmongering for some corner of the Internet where people are less aware of how the Internet actually works in reality. If you can't negotiate a connection with my sshd server (or whatever) to the stage where it will log your attempt, you're not a significant threat beyond maybe a DoS attack.
@Weather
You can change . . .
Followed by more spooooooky nonsense like SpaceLifeForm was pushing. Like I said, the day-to-day reality of online abuse does not rise to the worst-case-scenario level that you're beating the drum for. Yeah, the Internet was designed and implemented with just a liiiiiiitle too much inherent trust, but it still takes more resources to exploit those flaws than is warranted for anything other than a high-value target.
It doesn't need to be targeted 6.6.6.6 can point anywhere after its come through my network, you only now that I said I can find 6.6.6.6
You, too, must put your money where your mouth is. Tell me which log I should be looking at to see your traffic from 6.6.6.6. No more campfire stories trying to scare the clueless children like SpaceLifeForm is doing. And, seriously, hats off to you if you intentionally chose to spoof a DoD network block.
@Clive Robinson
Curious you would try to use that as an argument.
Which is why I encouraged you to think about things more rather than rushing to post a reply.
thus "it's the banks defense" not yours
I never claimed it was mine. It is a defense and, like hostile networks disconnecting from the open Internet, I recognize it is useful to me in keeping myself secure. As I said, the world is full of such ready defenses; I wonder what keeps you from seeing them, especially when you say that you yourself choose to stay substantially disconnected as a means of protection.
Defense/defence is a noun that is used as a "possessive noun"
It certainly can be used that way, but I never did. I also provided you with many examples of defensive measures that aren't possessed by anybody.
By your description Russia is your adversary not your ally, therefor any advantage their behaviour might aford you is not under your control, therefore it's not in your possession, so by definition "it's not your defense", because "it's your adversary Russia's defense".
It's mutual. That's why I said it would be good manners to implement a reciprocal firewall for China or any other nation that doesn't want an open Internet. I frankly don't understand why you continue to belabor the point; just admit your narrow view of what a defense can be is wrong and get on with your life, secure in the knowledge that you can now be more secure because your thinking about defensive measures has radically expanded.
