Gowator Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 www.dyndns.org www.no-ip.com et al.... try a google search for dynamic dns providers... its FREE (you can pay but the free service works fine) and I use dyndns.org but I know others are quite happy with no-ip too. both do the job and how do you complain about a free service :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axel_2078 Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Does Mandrake's built-in firewall notify you of intrusion attempts? If not, how would you know if someone was scanning your box or trying to get in? What are you guys using?

reb2 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) Added note here. Do you have port fowarding turned on at your Firewall? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've scanned myself using Steve Gibson's SHIELDS UP!! and I've found that all of my ports on the NAT router are stealthed... with the exception of Port 113 which replies with CLOSED. Optimally, I'd like to forward scans on Port 113 to a non-existent IP address, but I don't see that port forwarding is even available on my NAT firewall router. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> don't forget, you can check the ports above 1035 in blocks of 64 at a time by checking out the custom ports feature on the sheildsup site! port 6667 springs to mind as well as others (it is time consuming to scan all 65000 ports this way, but at least you can split it up over several day's or weeks!) if you do scan all your ports you may well find others that are just "closed" i found several on my setup and have investigated the router's settings. all ports found to be closed (with the exception of 113 ident) have the words "unknown protocol used by this port" written beside it. some are used for server interaction and the like. but then if its closed to connections i'm not to bothered. its useful to scan the wan side of the router from outside and see what the cracker see's from their point of view. i hope this is of use reb2 Edited December 22, 2004 by reb2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
