The college I work for is looking at a multi-tiered protection scheme to
keep our servers safe. Stage 1 is complete with the locking down of servers
and internet -> server access.
In a meeting today, the issue of whether we should protect students from
themselves (dorm residents) came up. My query to the folks on the list:
how many of you segment your network in such a way/run IDS/educate your
users so as to make port scanning and hacking in the dorms 'non-existent'?
Do you even care if student X portscans student Y? Does your 'care' kick in
when student X actually breaks into student Y's machine (and I don't count
C$ with everyone r/w as a hack if Y did that on purpose :)?

My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
