Under attack...?
    #1802526 - 08/11/03 04:33 PM (20 years, 9 months ago)

Our computer ops guy at work informed me of another attack on our firewall.  He says its coming from a  forum, and since i only visit two...one small....i assume its coming from here!  I don't know shit bout computers, but luckily we have a firewall so its no problem.  I have one at home too, but im a little concerned.  Could this be just some bitter political adversary, a stupid kid, trying out his "hacking", or the start of a more sophisticated assult?  Im not too worried bout it,...but i'd like some other opinions. 

Thanks to all who help. :smile:

riffic, it wasn't re-booting or anything. I believe he said people were looking to gain access or information from a remote ip....
He pretty stupid, so i don't even know if this has merritt....do these 'attacks' show up often on firewalls?

he's probably seeing an increase in portscans, like on port 135. this is how the current windows worm is spreading.

if you guys are firewalled, you're fine, for now.... until you get someone using a laptop silently carrying the worm attached behind your firewall and they start unwillingly spreading to all your workstations :wink:


I would suggest running around to every windows machine on your network, go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com , get EVERY SINGLE CRITICAL UPDATE installed, and be better safe than sorry, but don't worry too much about the firewall. it's doing it's job =)

at one time i was getting like 12,000 requests per hour for Code Red, MS based worms travel fast, and multiply fast and will consume mad bandwidth of everyone.

no one here knows your ip address, do i doubt its anyone here. unless you gave it out..

Hmm, well i never gave the ip out....the firewall appears to be doing its job....its the work computers anyway....so im not gunna worry about it anymore.

Although the guy at work may block this site if it keeps up!

I don't really see how/why a message board could be attacking computers.. it is quite unlikely shroomery.org is attacking jack shit, last I checked it wasn't running Windows.

those attacks have nothing to do with the message board, tell your friend to go read a book or 1,000 on computers :smile:

It was probably someone on this message board, not shroomery itself.  I didn't mean to imply that!
I think he thinks im pissing someone off or something,and they can trace my ip through this board or something if im on it, and can then try to get my ip address for whatever reason. He'd block the site so i don't piss the guy off anymore...for as much sense as that makes... :rolleyes:

They makes no sense whatsoever dood. No one from this site could get your ip address, at all. There is no way. If they did get your ip adress, the attacks would be coming from them, wich is probably somewhere across the world from where the shroomery is hosted. There would be no tried to the shroomery, because attacks do not display "SHROOMERY.ORG" in them. The idea that the attacks had anything to do with this message board is compeltely absurd. Tell that guy that is he has a problem with the content of the site, then to tell you, but not to make up bullshit lies like that.

Well there could be BS like that going on....it is my g/f family business and our computer 'expert' is her older brother who is such a pathetic fuck words cannot describe.

He thought someone who post here was trying to get my ip...the attackers ip showed up on the firewall, or he said he could get it, but that most likely would be a fake ip that he is using to make the attacks. Its hard for me to explain because i only have what he told me and little understanding of computers myself.

But he did know it was something to do with a forum....how could he know that?

its probably a software firewall, and he can probably see what domains you are going to. He would also probably be able to see what you are posting, reading but thats alot of information to sort through. But i do think he probably has a list of recently accessed sites & logs of them

Yeah, he's probably just looking in the history of your browser.

Pull his card and tell him to give you the IP address :smile:  We'll see if its the Shroomery's

Hmm, i don't think he'd give it to me. I don't care if he reads what i post and shit....but he knows i know nothing of computers and would definately not find an ip to give me if it invovled even the most marginal amount of effort on his part.

I'll see if he can give me the ip of the attacker though if he brings it up again. I was just worried mainly about someone trying to trace my ip because there is no reason for someone to be doing that.

I changed some setting that keeps history of sites to the shortest memory awhile ago, but could he see past that?
