Re: Port 135?!

Whoever has any numbers below 1024 open is really asking for it!
Matter of fact whoever has any ports open is asking for it!
Yeah, how dare anyone run an FTP on port 21 or a webserver on port 80! Those fools! I can't believe anyone would want to share information! Infidels! :P
I think the better statement would be:
Matter of fact whoever runs anything by Microsoft is asking for it!
And rightly so.

Hee hee! Why would anyone even own a pc for that matter? 95% of worms, virii, and nasty scripts are written for the M$ platform. The other 5% are diviied up between Mac and Linux. I haven't run a virus scanner on my Mac in years. My pc I find I'm constantly checking for all kinds of crap. I spend more time doing maintenance on it than anything else. What fun is there in that? I'm way more productive on my Mac. |

You are preaching to the choir here. My desk is surrounded with 2 Mac's (G3/G4 OSX) and 1 Intel Linux (RedHat 9) Desktop, 1 Linux RedHat Notebook.
(almost) Everyone in my office building is running around like heads with their chickens cut off. Some offices have high-end firewalling using outboard NetScreen & IPIX iron, but the worm still got through.
Here is the funny part; I had a scheduled sales presentation (remote data disaster recovery services) today and one of the "competitors" whose pitch was 2 hours before mine ran my meeting late...his laptop PP presentation wouldn't fly...his PC laptop kept going into a forced shutdown. My StarOffice demo ran like clockwork.
Why people continue to put up with this "platform" escapes me. |

Hey Alky,
Thats the same argument most people have used just before they got AIDS.
"Hey, I only get involved with 5% of the people I date, I am OK" "What fun is there in protection" "I am way more active doing it my way"
Oops, sorry we are talking about computers, not people here. |

Hows that? MasterMrtangent.:p
Zone Alarm has been blocking 73.165.128.151 to port 2268 TCP Flags SYN all of two weeks now. I haven't looked it up yet, I was about to and saw this thread.
I had Linksys hooked up but due to some computer diagnostic's it isn't right now. I ended up having to re-format the hard drive.
Guess I should hook it back up post haste?
Peace,

Yeah keep the linksys on at all times. I had only 1 computer and I had a NAT box. I dont ever update my machine unless I need to. I havent updated ANY of my computers to patch the worm because I am behind NAT. The firewall is good encase it somehow makes it onto your network, you will see it trying to download the meat and potatoes to your computer. The msblast.exe alone doesnt harm your machine (or so others say), only when it can get out onto the web and start reaking havok on your connection. NATs really cant protect against outgoing connections (although you can block incoming and outgoing ports).

So I'm going to hook it up. What ports if any should I block (and how) on the Linksys?
When you say keep the Linksy's on at all times, do you mean as well as the modem? Someone told me to keep them both on all the time and I thought they were in idiot.
I used to always keep the Linksy's on but turn the modem off, sometimes un-plug it.
Thanks,
