Sure enough, right after I tighten my security (see post from Sunday), some dumbass is trying to DoS Attack my server:
Security Alert from Firewall
Denial of Service “Code Red” attack detected.
Description:
A Code Red attack from outside is detected, it is a very dangerous virus that will deface your webpages, perform a denial-of-service attack, and even crash your system.One or more security issues were raised in your system NEO protected by Firewall. Please see the following details:

Off course 65.82.58.22, 82.253.172.108 are probably the PC’s of some clueless dudes that don’t even know that their PC probably is infected or taken over by some hacker.
Anyway: my router and my firewall are equipped to deal with his shit, but it is just as annoying as people walking by your home and trying to open the lock by prying it.
As I suspect that there is no such thing as chance, I assume I will notice more of these attacks.
To be continued?
