      The live ip in action (in double terminated brackets above) was changed to the AT&T ip address when i rebooted my system as a precaution.

      Same date/time and sniffed packet violations.

      My assumption is this is standard operating procedure using a VPN, something I would consider doing if i was a felonious hacker probing matt oliver's computer do because only a moron hacks from a compromised system, which is inevitable as well as the result of this malicious maneuver of a peon apparently looking for a needle in a haystack, whether it be crypto (no interest), or a hot file to sell to a da to esacpe his next court case presumably also (a rat).

                Well I think he was asking you to contribute the logs, which seems perfectly valid.

                  I have, and I'm going to.
                  This :

                  intrusion with fake logs

                  is serious.
                  Yet, all I have is these four words.
                  I presume you saw the logs.
                  If possible, remove private items share them, post them here.

                  The logs, not always well understood, are there to indicate what happened with the system with a time stamp, and as such a very important analysis tool.

                  If a system got breached, some one not authorized logins in, the very first thing he would do is modifying the logs to wipe out his "visits".
                  Like : breaking into a store, and remove the videos of all the security cameras first.

                  Also : sharing examples of log examples on the forum will helps other to recognize situations.

                  I didn't meant to be rude, as such behavior doesn't contribute to "finding answers". My way of motivating people to share as much possible info is/was maybe somewhat harsh.
                  You are, of course, totally free to interpret my words.
                  I was just asking for the logs .... because the subject of this thread is about logs.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.

                      This tone and language is most certainly uncalled for. As the moderator for this sub-forum, consider this your first warning. Please tone down the rhetoric.

                        Yup that^. Keep it civil please.

                        I will add that if you're running Snort on WAN you're going to see a lot of hits. Generally unless you are forwarding traffic to internal services they are not really useful.
