Re: Hardware Firewall
Conclusion: Healthy Setup! We could detect no interesting responses from any of the commonly probed TCP and UDP ports. It would be difficult for an attacker to know where to start without further information

All that security from my $50 Linksys router. I dont run firewall software in the inside of my router. I have an WWW/FTP server running on Windows 2003 with those ports forwarded to it, and three XP Pro clients.
I have never been hacked to my knowledge. I dont believe you need expensive hardware or software...you just need to know WTF your doing.
Having good Anti-Virus software always updated, POP blocker like google bar (free), spyware software like Ad aware (free), you $50 Router set to repsond to nothing on the internet, and running windows update everyday set to download and install. Dont use stupid software like Kaza and for god sakes have semi-complex passwords on your systems. |
