Hi While accessing the internet via dial up i use win xp and Norton NAV2007 as my os and antivirus to connect to the net. The NAV2007 shows up a fair deal of intrusion attempts - from a series of similar looking ips 61.x.x.x. NAV2007 throughs up a pop up saying intrusion detected. My question is on Ubuntu - how does one figure when attacks of any nefarious kind take place. Funnily enough while on dial up i have not been able to use linux - on braod band (adsl) or using reliance i only use Ubuntu - am assuming that a better connection means more attacks and stuff so how does one a. Keep track of whats happening (attacks, intrusions etc) b. prevent such stuff.
Install firestarter. It is a GUI to the inbuilt firewall in linux kernel. It will show you any incoming activity. By default all the ports are blocked for incoming request. Onkar -- Passion - Some people climb mountains - others write Free software. Don't ask why - the reason is the same.
