Diner at Gamla Stan (Stockholm) and attacks in the hotel...

It's getting better and better over here in Sweden. I attended a Sygate-Symantec course (Yes, I know.. unbelievable ... isn't it!) and afterwards we managed to go out with the teacher and two other guys. We took the metro or 'tunnelbana' to Stockholm's Old Town called Gamla Stan. With -14°C we managed to find quickly a nice Swedish restaurant in the middle of Gamla Stan called Kaffegillet. The Reindeer steak was perfect. Back in the hotel however I found a SQL Slammer and RpcDcom buffer overflow attack on the hotel's network. That's THE reason to have IPS and AV and Personal Firewall on your system! At least I don't have to worry...
