I have a SMC barricade Router and I was reading the reports
it has several unauthorized access from some IPs and the port #.
mostly is port#80 that's being accessed and 27374
Now how do I know that is someone trying to access my computer?
could it be from AOL? or some other applications?
neither of the ports were given a permission in the config page so how are they accessing that???

thanks
 
Port 80 attacks are probably idiot MS users. And the other could be just about anything. How do you know you are being hacked? Well tripwire is a good way to know if you were hacked. Other than that, I cant think of much.

NIMDA, Code Red (all versions), etc are STILL going around the net!
That is why you are getting port 80 alarms. Whether it is doing anything to your machine or not I cant tell without any info. But if your firewall software isnt setting off any alarms and your antivirus is working, and tripwire hasnt told you anything changed, you should be ok.
 
Just download a patch from Microsoft and it should close off your ports. But that's only if you're running WindowsNT or 2k because of IIS. If you're still using Windows98, you have nothing to worry about. If you want to make sure that your computer is virus free, head over to Symantec and download those tools to remove the virus. They take about 10-15 mintues to scan, so just download the ones that you need. Hope this helps...

How do you know? Depends on what OS you are running. But, in general, if kooky stuff is going on and weird $hit in your logs, and files have been changed, etc. That's a good indication. Usually, if you think that you are being hacked, you could be, but not always. LOL! 😀 Don`t qoute me on that, though.

As the n0cmonkey suggested, it's probably those lovely IIS worms still infecting unprotected MS boxen.

Port 80 is the HTTP port, if you did not already know. Used when you access websites through your web browser.

Good luck!
