Email received in our tech support help box today:

Feedback Details:
My computer is being constantly atacked by the same external hacker. I run Zone Alarm and warnings appear 36 times daily. My technician has told me that a trace of the address comes to no one. Can you please trace who ever this is, and advise me if it is dangerous? The address is 169.254.2.2

I'll try very hard to be polite when answering...

I'd reply with "We're sorry, but under the provisions of the Patriot Act, we are not allowed to disclose information on government investigations"

Watch them freak.

I almost feel sorry for them, but I can't quite manage it. :D

You beat me to it.

"LOG OFF! It's coming from INSIDE your network!"

Years back, I saw a request from some script kiddie for IP addresses to some neat hacker sites. I sent him back a fun list recommending a variety of loopback, RFC 1918, and otherwise reserved addresses, with comments as if these were the treasures of the truly 1337....

that's what you get for using a POS like ZoneAlarm.

I liked the Patriot Act answer.

They're in your network sniffing your packets!
