Guest Madmatt Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 Everything is back up! Turns out he it seems he got through freaking port 139 which was left open by a poorly terminated internal application. That is the Netbios over TCP/IP port which should almost ALWAYS be closed to outside traffic. I thought mine was but something opened it up and thats how he snuck in. Damage to the server was negliglbe and total loss of data was a few hundred archived emails and a reinstall of win 98 (which I do monthly anyway it seems!) Updates on CMHQ should resume on Monday as I need a day of rest and further testing yet. Thank's for the support and I am sorry it took me over a day to get back up...

Scorpion Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 Matt, I sent this to you in email, but I'll put it here for good measure: I suggest going for a small hardware firewall, such as a SonicWALL SOHO/10 or a Netscreen 5 (my personal favorite is the Netscreen). They'll do stateful packet inspection, NAT, and all that good stuff, plus they avoid the problem that software firewalls have (which you discovered the hard way): The underlying operating system is always at risk, no matter how good your software firewall is. Great job in getting it back up! -Scorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rommel22 Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Lets hang the bastard who did this and chase down his family!!! Better yet pound the f*ckers face into a monitor with his picture on it. ------------------ From the Das Reich book as said by a German soldier "when the Russians reached us, we opened fire, the first wave had no weapons. The second wave didn't either (fire fodder). The 3rd and 4th had weapons and opened fire on us. By this time we were low on ammo, but we drove them back."
