Hi, I wonder if anyone could tell me if all the hits being rejected by firestarter should be a cause for worry, or is this just some automated scan?
I am a Linux home-user, on Debian Sarge, connecting through ADSL by means of a TCM 420 Cable Modem, which I believe has some kind of filtering deployed, as the results of online scans such as grc shields-up are identical, whether running Debian Sarge, Live Linux or Windows XP. Observing the firestarter logs on Debian I notice that many of the incoming connection always blocked are destined to port 17300 for a purported Kuang2 service (according to website info this is virusware); Others habitually blocked are for Service Samba (SMB) 137,138; Backdoor-G or Sub-7 TCP on port 27374; TCP connection service "Auth" (What is this?) on port 113; ms-sql-s TCP port 1433; As all of these incoming connections are being blocked should I stop worrying? In any case, I'll probably bootup Windows XP tomorrow to check the firewall logs there too Thanks for any suggestions, AgustÃn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
