I guess you made my point, while it might be technically possible to link a IP to a CMDR name it still doesn't excuse the fact the someone just made an outlandish post saying that someone in CODE DOs'ed their account. That's a load of .
More like the CODE crashed the Hutton Party and this Cmdr thought it would be cool to jump on a Forum and sling a little mud.
Oh and really you are in the CODE, whats your Cmdr name ?

That's easy to obtain - ask your ISP for traffic logs, match them up with your own network logs. Whoever wants to be playing naughty in Elite will usually have some form of interaction with their target - wether that be pew pew or message. Screenshots of that, Elite's own logs, corroborating evidence of the offending CMDR posting somewhere "I'm in CODE" and tying that to their CMDR name on Reddit or whatever would be nice.
Still - it's a lot of work over basically nothing, and there is no way to prove that whoever owns that CMDR account was the person actually doing naughty things.
As for portscans - they happen all the time for good (and bad) reasons, and are generally not worth worrying about. Targetted attacks can and do occur though - especially as the attacker knows you have an active and open port that he has access to - you're playing Elite via it.
