Just a quick note on something I noticed going on today on the home network

The script kiddies are active tonight.

These are just the script kiddies caught trying to brute force a login to my home machine over the past hour (they're blocked after five attempts, and the block remains for an hour lest I end up with hundreds of entries). I wonder if there's a quota they have to meet?
