What does this message mean?
Hi,
I was just looking through my system.log file (just discoveed it) and found this entry repeated multiple times every day.
Aug 31 19:19:59 mohan-doss-computer kernel[0]: Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP 10.0.1.2:50214 from 204.11.109.63:80
What does this mean and what is the result?
Thanks and cheers

Port 50214 doesn't show up in the list of registered service ports though, so maybe it's a windows worm attempting to compromise your machine.
In any case, it doesn't look like a typical SSH or FTP attack. I wouldn't worry about it.
