EDIT: And my other computers run XP w. built in firewall...

This is pretty foolproof, I can't even access my own network 😛

you could if you had the right routing and iptables rules 😉

Oooh, so I need to put them on a table... :Q😛

 

[Anubis]

we are behind a bunch

we have a box running smoothwall, then it goes into a router, my comps are both running Kerio Personal FW and Kaspersky AV, i think steve runs a FW on the windows box and doesnt bother on the linux one, and he runs some open source AV as well, he is big on open source

by the definition of how a router works, it acts as a firewall. You cannot route incomming packets to multiple/all hosts on the inside. That's why you have to manually set a DMZ or port tunneling.

Hackers ARE the good guys....but unfortunately, probably half the ATOT community wouldn't have any clue on what crackers are.

[Icopoli]

At home: random SMC router, nVidia hardware firewall on motherboard, SP2 firewall.
At work: I don't think I'm allowed to say what we're running here *cough*2000computersonafiberoptic*cough* (If that gives you a hint)

 

[imported_Phil]

SPI firewall on a NAT router, McAfee Internet Security (mostly for controlling outgoing traffic), and I'm playing with Smoothwall.

Really I would say it was the other way around.. I would say that 90% of ATOT doesnt know what a real Hacker is.

 

[FoBoT]

use nmap to do simple port checking, i was looking for a vulnerability assessment site and got sidetracked, i know broadband reports has one, but i don't know if it is good/bad

nessus has a free software for windows, i filled out a form for it, but no email back yet to download it

Actually...you are agreeing with me. What most folks consider as "hackers" are really coined as crackers. But most folks are unaware of them being called crackers. Make any more sense?
