After noting and removing a RAM hog program via Activity Monitor, I thought to peak at my system.log and noticed this curiosity:

Stealth Mode connection attempt to TCP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx (my local IP addy) from 66.230.200.100:80

Six attempts from that IP, and two from 64.154.81.161:80

I did a traceroute and got wikimedia.com for the first and omniture.com for the second IP.

I'm curious about this entry, can anyone explain?

dem hackers are spoofing their IP addresses? damn they're smart.

That was my assumption, in my ignorance of hackery in general and IP spoofing in particular. Thanks for weighing in, FD. Anyone else?
