Guest Cookie Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Nice one Min_Man, I now have the link in my favourites. Am I secure? Check out the following results.TEST MY SHIELDS.Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist! One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion. Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet. PORT PROBES = There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address :D :D :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 If you want some extra emails then pop along to http://www.sophos.com/ and sign up for there alerts. I know they are tailored to users of Sophos but you can still be told about the latest virus as and when they [sophos] tell you about them. Its sad I know, but someone has to keep tabs on these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 I see the FBI have reversed there opinion on plug and play and say its not a security risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Radfordin Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 The return of the celebrity virus:http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/56/28797.htmlManaged services firm MessageLabs reports capturing 11,165 copies of the virus so far, since first detecting it on Monday (January 6). AV vendors have updated their signature files to detect the worm. There's really no good reason to get caught out: simply filtering executable attachments from emails will guard against this virus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
