Oh so shoot me.. I opened it for Cyberchuck and Stu to connect to, changed the setting s back on my router.. but didnt reboot it coz I was downloading at the time... > And yes, DO contact the ISPs used , logs you already > got. Happy hunting, even tho I doubt anyone will do > **** about this...sigh.. You reakon its worth it though? I got contacted by Ihug coz somebody alerted them I was ssh'ing into their PC.. they didnt recognise my IP and it was all good in the end, but will american ISP's do anything? Where do I begin? |

| 190808 | 2003-11-12 09:08:00 | No, in the server config. For example for SSH, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config; add/uncomment/change the line: Port 22 to say Port 222 or 2222 22222, 18473 etc. And restart. You would have to tell people you want using it to specify the port number when they connect, (and unblock the port). Usually you can just put it after the host name in the URL: eg with my smoothie box: dial@bebop:81 |

Thats pretty harsh. If people had that attitude then hardly anyone would be using the internet. What about all those people running Outlook making it possible for viruses to spread? And even all those people running windows, making it possible for worms (a la blaster) to spread? Should they be banned from using the internet too? It's not like only non-net savvy people get affected by it either. Remember Nimda, Code Red? They were spread by machines that were maintained by people at least somewhat net-savvy. |

| 190810 | 2003-11-12 09:13:00 | Soooo... Okay.. If I do it like that.. Then what's the point of having the router, being able to specify incoming ports to the router, and outgoing ports to the "server" PC as different then? | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||
| 190811 | 2003-11-12 09:21:00 | Yes, it might be harsh, but having used the net since late 80s, I am beeing rather polite afterall :=) People running Outlook isnt a problem, People using Outlook, not understanding the basics of computers, communications and viruses are the problem . Really . . . Its not the OS or the Applications, its the lack of knowledge thats making this chaos . Sadly . The day people learn to secure their systems, guide their users or themselves to handle the tools given, I will step down from beeing harsh to just modest . . promise :) Still, If this person who offers a Proxy is most likely breaking all User Agreements with its ISP, putting up a insecure client, providing a insecure feature as a Mailserver . . . . Whats the use for Mailserver at home? Dont try to run before you are able to walk -theory . . . . . . Thats pretty harsh . If people had that attitude then hardly anyone would be using the internet . What about all those people running Outlook making it possible for viruses to spread? And even all those people running windows, making it possible for worms (a la blaster) to spread?

| 190812 | 2003-11-12 09:41:00 | Well, its as I said.. That I'd only left it open so CyberChuck and Stu could have a looksie :-) And people running Outlook is a problem, simply because half the people out there in the REAL world dont Actually patch their PC til they're hit by a Virus! I was still downloading when I was "attacked" as such, but I figured stuff it, i'd rather lose the download to corruption because I restarted it than let some bozo in the states leach off my Proxy. Disc 2 for Fedora Linux was stuffed coz of it and that just added another 400 megs to my download total which was totally useless to me. Luckily, it was an NZ Mirror! Im not as clueless as you might think, and I'll thank you to be modest around me... Just out of curiousity, what OS are you running? |

| 190813 | 2003-11-12 09:57:00 | Out of curiosity, I run; HP UX, T64, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Sun Solaris...:) Still, True; People NOT patching their systems or are able to use the Update Feature on Antivirus/Windows oughta be spanked in public :) |

| 190814 | 2003-11-12 10:05:00 | Unless of course that update creates a problem with their system. A great example is Windows XP SP1. Some people had problems with their computer slowing down quite a bit. You can't really blame them for not using SP1. | segfault (655) | ||
| 190815 | 2003-11-12 18:00:00 | Segfault> If you can get in contact with me, Ive got a Java Jabber client running... I just wanna tickle your noodle about rsync'ing a gentoo mirror. Cheers Chill. |
