I thought I'd throw this out there, because something very weird has been going on for the last 4 days.

I use a few different firewalls to protect my machine, and one of them tattles on who is trying to hack me.

I only seem to get hacking attempts while on Freedom4um. I can go to every other website and never have a problem, but without fail, the last 4 days, if I hop on here, I get hacking attempts left and right.

Now, the latest one came from COLT, in Portugal. I have the DNS info and everything. I sent them a tersely worded e-mail asking them to explain themselves. Of course they don't speaka no English, so I won't likely get a response.

I'm asking everyone because I know I can't be the only person getting these attacks on my PC. I've been getting them frequently. Some come from China, but most are coming from Europe and Australia.

I thought I would ask everyone to post their problem DNS's that way we could better ascertain who the hell is doing it, and shut the fucking pricks down. If it's some layabout loser who wants to steal money or whatever, they need to be stopped. If it's the feds, one would think they'd have better hackers out there to do their dirty work, than outsource to the socialist Eurotrash.

So, anyway, pm me, or post publicly who's bugging you online. Subscribe to *You Gotta Be Shitting Me*

How do you know it's a hack attempt? Maybe you have spyware on your computer that is initiating outbound connections.

Nope, I have no spyware on my machine. Run scans twice a day, and got nothing on here. These are incoming packets, not outgoing.

The right way to diagnose this is to just visit individual pages on 4um and then see if there´s a pattern with the attacks. If its truly related to 4um then it might be something someone posted which you are reading.

Can´t say too much more about that based on what you said.

When I clicked on that link, it showed the city I live in. Is that normal, is that what it's suppose to do? My computer skills aren't good enough to even know if I'm being hacked. It was running really slow today though, so I did ran my adaware program, Norton never seems to find anything, so how does a person even find out if they're being hacked?

I'll admit to be out of my league here, but dsl offers an open door to hackers, dial up is much more intrinsically secure.

If any one disagrees with that, believe them not me.

They use natural gas there which is a lot cheaper.

The average heating bill there is $78 a month for a medium size house, here it's $400+ in winter (which is most of the year) for a tiny house, and it keeps going up all the time.

Lately I wonder why I stay here, except I don't want to move back to the city.

My best friend is moving to Anchorage because of the high costs here, I thought of going too but when I read about the gangs and crime there I decided to stay put. I can't believe even Anchorage has gangs now. I knew they had Somoan gangs, but they also have hispanic, black and other gangs too now from what I read, drive by shootings and everything.

What would make a difference, what would it mean?

Because people that have broadband typically have hardware firewalls built into their modems/routers. Software firewalls generally are only useful if you have a live Internet connection straight to the PC, usually in the form of a dial-up modem. There are other situations, such as being behind a router with no firewall enabled, where the PC might have a software firewall, such as a front end for a webserver for instance.

In any case, I was just curious, as smaller ISP's that use dial up connections might be more susceptable to being hacked and used as nodes from which hacking attempts can be performed.

Have you enabled the hardware firewall in your modem/router?

I tried to run Ad-Aware and anti virus without success

Ad-Aware used to be good, but it's a bit "outdated".

There are several things which are free (YEAH!!!), and are very competent products.

First, I don't use IE at all, I use Firefox. It's much less vulnerable than IE to spyware. It takes a little longer to load than IE, but then it cruises along faster than IE. It took me about a week to get used to, but now I LOVE it! I wouldn't THINK of going back to IE! I particularly like some of the built in features like an automatic spell-checker (so I catch those little typos when I'm posting), and the ability to "reload" without losing stuff in the event of an unexpected loss of a browsing session (like if you lose power during a storm - when you get "back on", you have the option of reloading the last session - it's even put me right back to typing a reply I was working on here on 4 once without losing what I had already written!) Plus Firefox has some cool "add ons" which are nice to "customize" your browser (like a webpage translator for those foreign sites - and one I like that allows you to "preview" a webpage without having to "click" it and actually go to it)

I have the AVG Anti-Spyware loaded on my machine. (I also have Spyware Terminator) It's pretty damned good. For anti-virus, I use Avast. Norton is alright, but it sure takes up a lot of resources, and is too expensive. Avast is free (as is AVG, which is also good - I just prefer Avast).

Want to surf REALLY anonymously? Then JAP is the way to go. It's free, and bad ass! Your surfing will slow down, BUT you'll be almost untraceable (it's not 100% "watertight", but damn close). Here is what the website (linked below) has to say about it:
"In fact JAP is perhaps a little too good. That's why the German Police insisted in 2004 that a backdoor be put into the product to allow interception of child pornographers. This was done but subsequently removed as a result of court action by JAP."

Another valuable protection is called Sandboxie. It's really neat how it works. You can open a browser session in the "sandbox", and it is totally isolated from the rest of your machine. If you (for example) download something that has something "nasty" (like a trojan), it stays in the "sandbox", and cannot "infect" your machine. After your session, you have the option of "dumping" the sandbox (which basically has the effect of having never had that browsing session), or you can move things "out of the sandbox", and go ahead and put them on your machine. In other words, anything that could possibly "infect" your machine can be totally eliminated BEFORE it can do any harm...

This is the website which has descriptions of all of the above mentioned things as well as many others including free firewalls, rootkit scanners, spam filters, file managers, TCP settings tweakers, popup stoppers - as well as links to each thing.

It may pay to bookmark the site, and visit regularly for updates. I've used some of the recommended things from the site for some time now, and have had a trouble-free machine. And best of all - it's all FREE!!

It takes a little longer to load than IE

Just the opposite for me! I use Norton's, it isn't free, but Fry's was selling it with a 100% rebate.

I also have an old Linksys firewall/router - I recommend this type of hardware.

Really? If by some chance I do want to use IE for some reason it loads quicker than Firefox on my machine (I do have the latest versions of both, but it's been a long time since I used the IE). But for me the Firefox loads from one page to the next much faster...

And if you are not into gaming, then Linux is the best OS. It is much more secure than Windows.

Yeah, I've heard lots of good things about Linux. I've never tried it though. Does it work anything like Windows, or is it something that you have to totally get used to doing differently? Is there a way to "try it" without having to "buy it"? Do you have to uninstall windows, or can you have both on your machine? I would like to check it out.

Still, some of the recommendations from that website help out a lot with Windows problems... For those that are going to use Windows, it doesn't hurt to at least check out the site.

Linux is free, by download or from Ubuntu or Red Hat (RH has a charge for CDs, but not downloads). Linux is different, and becoming more friendly. Ubuntu markets itself as being very user friendly.

Thanks for all the tips! When I had all those problems the other night I turned off my computer, got Norton to work again, updated it along with the ad aware (seems like not too long ago it was the newest and the best!) and defraged though it said I did not need to, then I ran all the norton which picked up nothing as usual, then ad aware which did, and now it seems to be working better. I'm going to look into those new free programs you mentioned.
