My IP is dynamic. If it was static I would not be posting it. I would be
surprised if anyone could crack my box considering what I have done to it
and having a dynamic IP. If they where to crack it it would be a random hit
or would have to be seriously planned. I am not even sure if my mail from my
box declares my box's ip as the source or the one from my ISP I think its
the latter. At the moment I have no services listening to Internet addresses
and my iptables set to allow a connection only if I started it and
everything else gets dropped I also drop all obviously spoofed IPs coming in
on my internet interface. I think I would be reasonably safe from most of
the script kiddies out there but there will always be one that gets through.

I am still updating my iptables to sort out any DOS attacks but this is me
just being paranoid as all I have to do is restart my connection and I get a
new IP. Most of the stuff I have done is overkill but its interesting.
