1, 2, 3, 1984 knocking at your ssh door

Going over my logfiles I noticed something (not that uncommon) today.
But well, you know how it all goes…
Linux nerd is bored, Linux nerd checks logfiles, Linux nerd checks whois info on IPs trying to hack him…

Well, it’s not like I’m not used to getting tones of these, but this is what made me throw up in my mouth:

inetnum: 84.136.0.0 – 84.191.255.255
netname: DTAG-DIAL20
descr: Deutsche Telekom AG
country: DE
admin-c: DTIP
tech-c: DTST
status: ASSIGNED PA

person: Security Team
address: Deutsche Telekom AG
address: Germany
phone: +49 180 5334332
fax-no: +49 180 5334252
e-mail: abuse@t-ipnet.de

so…. now my ISP is trying to hack me.
“Security Team”, yeah, right.
I’m wondering how this goes hand in hand with recent laws in Germany.
Are you fucking kidding me?

Well, since I’m running (what I consider mandatory) fail2ban all I can say is: “Fuck you, Telekom.”

It’s just that I don’t like how they ‘just try’, probably ‘just for my own safety’...
‘Just’ up your’s, bastards.
