Be very careful with this. In many countries (US is one), "retaliation" is illegal ad subject to the same prosecution as the hackers themselves.

What bugs me is that while doing the port scan, or the attempted Microsoft-DS attack on port 445 etc, they are generating a large amount of traffic on my link and thus generating a "sortof" DoS attack instead, and THAT's what P's me off!!

Script kiddies or what be it, but my question is what do you do about it? Is it worth the time running a traceroute, calling their ISP yanking some people off their chairs to do something about it or is it better just to leave it alone? What is everyone's general policy for people running scans and checking your web server for possible exploits? Is it even possible to do anything until they do something to you?
