I think mirror status doesn't monitor individual server, they just get the data when you connect to them and fetch the file on your pub directory. Not only the mirror box have been scanned in many times, but also *all* public box in the world were scanned in million times too. IMHO. So I think the scanner is not coming from mirror status, it's coming from the 'world' :) On 03/04/2013 04:45 PM, Info | HostingXtreme.com wrote: > Hi, > > I just wanted to know from other Mirror Hosts experience: > > - Do you receive a lot of port scan attempts on your mirror > machine? - Does the CentOS Mirror Monitor > (http://mirror-status.centos.org/) use any known IPs?
