DOUBLE POST, dont usethis one






i just had my first experience battling a hacker 🙂

one of my friends computers was just hacked. he leaves PCAnywhere running (stupid i know), and i think some guy gained access. i tried to talk to the guy to get some info, and tried DESPERATELY to figure out what the 3rd party IP was, but i dont think i got it.

192.168.0.1 is what i got, i think that is the ICQ server IP.

anyways, i contacted my friend, and told him what the deal, so he went down and got off ICQ. then the guy logged back in, i told hi mto stop PCAnywhere, and the strange happenings stopped.

at first i thought my friend and others were playing a trick, but then i realized he really wasnt.

any suggestions on how i can do any more if this happens again? my friends brother knows a LOT more about networking, so hell probably check the logs. makes me even more excited to setup my firewall 🙂
 
🙂

yea, i think that is the subnet or something else from the other double, im boutto change this title so the other one is the main 🙂
 
I've been hacked before... just an easy formatting of my hard drive took care of it. But that was with a backdoor virus... I opened up that virus in an e-mail on accident. The Virus I was dealing with was SUBSEVEN... Fun toy to play with, I've used it a few times myself on some annoying people on AOL instant messenger, but this doesn't seem to be your problem. PCANYWHERE eh...? I've heard some stuff about that... The local agway up the road from me had problems with it so eliminated it, they where using it to keep track of stock or something, being a chain buisness it was easier for the wholesaler or whoever shipped them their supplies to check their computer themselves... apparantly something went whacked and they where hacked.... or something... but I don't trust PCANYWHERE... and I usually have a virus scanner to check all incoming mail and Norton Anti-virus is always on my computer, not to say that is the best protection, but If I where you I'd set up a firewall of some sort, that's the easiest fix to prevent it from happening again.
