Now what would it take to get them to notice you and fix the problem and compensate you?

A lawsuit.

How does this differ from a robber who is trespassing on your property and looking to see whether any of your doors is ajar?

If one of your machines is located in the US, you have locus standi in that jurisdiction to pursue the trustees of Stanford.

Is that jurisdiction California?

Can bitfolk map the address range to which your machines respond to a US server farm located in Palo Alto or Menlo Park?

It need only be for a month or a week, although damages would follow length of exposure to the hazard.

It still
continues, but at a reduced rate. Still no response to my
email to the abuse mailbox. They have advertised a seminar
on cybersecurity which is going on round about now. That is
ironic.

       them though.

 That's how I found
         the 7777. I had no idea what it was. I picked them
 up first
         because they hit on 22. that got them put in the
 set. Others in
         the set made a couple of attempts then disappeared.
 There is one

           I was particularly referencing 7777 (hence the
 quoted
           context).  You've


           not got anything on that port, and even if you
 did, it
           wouldn't be 


           compatible.




           I don't think I'd even notice an attempt
 to connect to 7777.


           Because a connection is not made...
