I keep getting messages about stealth attacks (over 50.000 times in no time) from 87.124.84.6 (insanelymac.com) and thus I am wondering what is going on?!?

Edit: Great! It suddenly stopped! I now only get the usual connections from the web server (on port 80).

on or from port 80?

Now only from 87.124.84.6:80 to my computer, which is normal, but previously just from 87.124.84.6 to thousands of ports on my computer, which was not normal.

I have Little Snitch running in the background, but I never faced any such thing... Is this country specific?

Little Snitch 2.2 Beta 1 user here, and no you should never see anything like this, but I had to keep clicking that stupid dialog over and over again (you know what I am talking about, right?).

Yes, I get what you are saying, but this shouldn't be happening. I'm using LS 2.04 , but whatever, I expect it to report an inbound connection. If this happens ever again, make sure you pull up "Grab"...
Master Chief
Grab won't have changed anything since nobody even contacted me (per e-mail) so why would I bother?

Hi sorry not been around for a while and just noticed this...

That's VERY strange, sounds like you got scanned, but I can categorically say that the server should NOT be scanning you... If you see anything like this again, please get a screenshot or more detailed information, logs or anything you've got and I'll be happy to investigate further.

All the best,

Mark

10-4 But all I can say now is that I hope that this was a one time event or else... my ISP will step in which normally results in a traffic block due to illegal activities.
