You will notice above Redonna Leppla's computer was caught by two different honeypot machines port scanning for the SubSeven Trojan Horse. As with Peter Hampton we verified that Redonna Leppla was the owner of the IP Address we caught port scanning, see below.

ReDonna_02530 has identified for this nick

As with Peter Hampton the DNS Lookup and Whois Lookup confirmed the owner of that IP Address and nickname was indeed Redonna Leppla.

When confronted by an IRC Operator who we reported this dubious activity to in the interests of public safety Redonna Leppla was recorded as stating the below dialog. Incidentally she also scanned the IRC Operator who questioned her about it.

[21:14] <Fruit^Loop> WHY are you port scanning?
[21:14] <@ReDonna_02530> i am not port scanning i scan for trojans and things that will hurt my computer is all
[21:14] <@ReDonna_02530> things like this: - Possible Sub7Gold Detected on ( pcp852106pcs.nport01.fl.comcast.net ) CurroptLo -
[21:14] <Fruit^Loop> You have no right to port scan ,
[21:15] <Fruit^Loop> When you connect to another person's PC that's remote access
[21:15] <Fruit^Loop> and that's against the LAW

[21:15] <@ReDonna_02530> i don't connect
[21:15] <@ReDonna_02530> i only scan and that Sir is not against the law

Stupidity or LIES? We will let the reader make up their own mind. One would ask why this Officer might think a Trojan on somebody elses computer might hurt her own computer, unless they are completely stupid or just telling outright lies.

According to the Web Police scanning for Trojans is not in fact Port Scanning which is most certainly a revelation that we were completely unaware of. The Web Police would certainly need to explain this new technology which we obviously do not understand to their ISP's and to DAL.Net and the rest of us poor technically devoid netizens.

They can also scan a TCP Port without making a connection with the TCP Protocol, mysteriously the RFC on TCP neglects to mention this fact that we obviously missed or were completely unaware of. Understandable that this claim might hold some validity if it were a UDP scan even though scanning for Trojans is grossly unethical.

Obviously we feel very embarrassed at our complete technical ineptitude in these matters and can only wish that we had received the latest cutting edge training in Internet Technology that each Web Police Officer receives. Obviously we were under the completely false impression that a TCP Port Scan initiates a brief connection with a listening Port/Socket on a computer.

It is also a consideration that perhaps in fact that the Web Police do not break into computers at all and have a warrant for legitimate entry signed by any one of the many 100's of Police Agencies or Government Agencies that recognize them and have jurisdiction in the country the computer they are probing resides. This would be about the only valid explanation that they are not indeed illegally accessing computers without consent and we welcome them to explain to and satisfy our readers that they do have the authority and official endorsement to legally perform these practices of doubtful ethics.

Like her master Peter Hampton, Redonna Leppela was also banned from the DalNet IRC Network for port scanning peoples computers.

Officer ReDonna_02530 claims to be an ex Navy Military Police Officer and called Redonna Leppla, yet her Internet account is apparently in the below name.

According to her InterGov Staff Profile: Redonna Leppela

43 Year old Female. Living in Houston Texas now. I am married for the first time right now, been married 4 years. I am X Navy of 14 years. During that time most of my job was to be a Military Police officer. I went to the 9545 school in San Antonio in 1990. I have had numerous hours of training since then. I was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal upon my Honorable discharge from the Navy in 1997. I am good with computers and love being on mine doing any number of things from chatting on IRC to playing computer games. I am a animal lover, I love all animals and have had dealings with quite a few. I even lived on an Ostrich Ranch for a couple years. I have a very assertive and sometimes brass personality, but get to know me and you will understand why. I am a Survivor. I am the kind of person who would give you the shirt off my back if you needed it without hesitation. I am a cancer in the zodiac, and yes I am very sensitive and emotional at times too. I love very deep and get attached very quick. I also am able to respond to an emergency and hold all my feelings till I can sit down and face myself, that's when I loose it, after it is all over. I look forward to meeting a lot of new friends here and being around a long time. I plan to give my 110% in any way I can help. I also have a web site your welcome to explore: www.americanquillows.com

In her own words "I have a very assertive and sometimes brass personality" and is often blatantly rude to people in our opinion. Redonna Leppla also appears to have extreme difficulty with simple spelling and punctuation from IRC logs we have captured. Yet ironically she is the Communications Team Leader and Public Relations Specialist? Anyone see the hilarity in that?

It was also alleged in an email going around the InterGOV fellow officers internal mailing list that Redonna Leppla's Navy career was hardly exemplary, we can only let you make up your own mind as to the accuracy of any information contained within it. We cannot however confirm or disprove the accuracy of the information contained in this email of which we were forwarded a copy. You can view it HERE. Another email going around their internal fellow officers mailing list is HERE, we believe the sender of both to be the same person or persons.

See also Peter Hampton engaged in identical dubious activities.
