Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Dearest Friends, Namaste Thank you for all your messages. I haven't been able to reply to the recent ones for the time being. This is due to port scan attacks whenever I got online. I couldn't even type one sentence in peace. This activity has been especially ferocious and tiresome yesterday. The latest is:" ______ blocked traffic to port 135 on your machine from port 4445 on a remote computer whose IP address is 63.60.247.113. This communication attempt may have been a port scan, or simply one of the millions of unsolicited commercial or network control messages that are routinely sent out over the Internet. Such unsolicited messages are often called Internet background noise." An example was: In 18 minutes, I had 54 attacks from the same source. I had to get offline to sort it out. It almost froze my program. Whoever it is, has been trying to access my Net Bio, Files, Ping Request, etc. etc. I have a log full of these activities. Have a good mind to post the log details here. It has happened too many times to be a mere coincidence. This particular action seems to be deliberate. Whoever you are, please be Kind and leave me in peace so that I may enjoy the company of my kindred brothers and sisters on this List. Thank you, my friend. Now the latest report: "_______prevented a remote computer from connecting to port 137 on your computer.This connection attempt was probably legitimate network traffic. Port 137 is commonly used by networked Windows computers to enable file sharing and other resource sharing." (And I haven't even completed typing this post.) Thousand-fold blessings, Sy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
