Your first letter was a simple icmp ping to her IP, and she responded. Good!
The next day you guys went for a lunch, together, for that you just successfully handshaked with her at port 80, with an HTTP protocol.
Now you went further, first you ssh to her port 22, and try to log on as root. Of course you failed, 'coz you didn't have the password. Even tried to portscan her.
Finally you knocked on her door, the data centre, attemped to use the console directly, unauthorized!
You know what you did. Now her firewall has been set up so that your IP address can never connect, not even a ping.
You've just "fingered" yourself, my techie friend.
