I agree with you David. The amount of times I have e-mailed abuse@ of a netblock letting them know that one of their boxes has been rooted and some little kiddie is doing brute force dictionary attacks against SSH for example (with logs). Haven't got one reply yet!

Additionally, all those attempts you see in your apache log files, 9/10 times they are worms. But then again, there are some stupid kiddies who will try IIS exploits on a *unix box.

Blacklist all .br/.kr/.jp/.cn IPs on your firewall already is what I say.

Depends on the Jurisdiction... However If I found out that it was my
site, I'd have to debate on whether or not to sue your ass... But that's
just me...

You would not sue anyone. Thats just saying that you would sue anyone under the sun trying to ping or go after some bot trying to scan your Apache box for IIS 5 vulnerabilities. My point is, even if you did realize someone was actively scanning your host, there would be nothing you could do, I think it would be too time consuming. Yet your question still stands. Is it legal or illegal?

Is it illegal if I perform a vulnerability scan on a site without permission from the owner? How about a simple port scan? thanks..
