18 A few notes...

20 1) It's UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
21
22 2) UDP is a connectionless protocol, i.e. no 3-way handshake like TCP.
23 That means that the sending software can put any garbage they want
24 in the source-port and source IP address. *DO NOT* complain to the
25 ISP responsible for 215.146.157.191. UDP forgery is trivial.
26
27 3) This garbage is spewed out by zombie bots to port 1026 to pop up
28 messages on your screen if you'r running the Windows Messnger Service.
29 It'll probably show up if you have Samba configured right/wrong (Ain't
30 Windows emulation wonderful?). Everybody gets hit with it, just like
31 port 135 and 1433 and 1434 scans. Here's an hour's worth from my
32 router's log. The router is set to reject unsolicited traffic...
