hack attempt on my server...What do you do about this?

[David Gavin]

 Before you send a complaint to Ripe, you should know that they are the
Internet governing body for Europe - (Réseaux IP Européens). Check with
http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois and you'll find that the IP range actually
is assigned to:

route:        130.120.0.0/16
descr:        RENATER
descr:        Universite Pierre et Marie Curie

  So it's probably some script kiddie with a French accent.....  and
incerti at cict.fr may well be interested in knowing that they have been
rattling your doorknob
