A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again

For all of you readers that have a UNIX type operating system on the public Intenet with a real IP address, do this for a laugh. Install the ngrep package and run: ngrep -q -t -d <your ethernet device> -W byline . not port 22

Then watch and wait. If you're lucky you should see lots of traffic on udp port 137 and 138. These are Microsoft NetBEUI ports. Some of which are advertisements for various companies that sell "registry cleaning" software. Hi-larious!
