How do I prevent and fix a port scan attack issue
I noticed today that I couldn't load onto other pages other than GFF because it's my homepage. No outside pictures other than from GFF are loaded.
I can get into MSN and play games and such though, it doesn't allow me to surf outside links however. I checked my wireless router log and found this:
--- I set up MAC address filtering so only the 3 computers at home can get through.... so I don't know what happened. Currently running some scans to find the problem, if I can. Can anyone suggest anything? Or if someone has had the same problem, please share how to remedy it. EDIT: I like how my Norton program found nothing wrong...... EDIT2: I noticed for the last 2 days I've had this, it just started to kick in now.... the beginning
My two home computers now don't load anything, not even GFF :P, or any other programs that require the net. I don't know if this is related, but about 2days ago one of my CD drives were opening and closing at random moments. EDIT4: Ok, I read up more about this, and how it's a port scan attack. Now my questions are: 1. How do I remedy this 2. How do I prevent this from happening again 3. How to port scan attack the other jerk back! lol jk :P. Jam it back in, in the dark.  oh my gawddd

So I searched my computer for trojans and stuff, and nothing seems to be wrong there.
I have windows' default firewall up, and I've also disabled ping to my router. I have MAC address filtering on my router (dont' know if this helps), and I have disabled wireless. ........ I'm still getting people mooching off my net from multiple IP's, and my net is slowing down like no tommorow. I've gotten so pissed that I just unplugged my router and put the cable directly into my computer so I'm able to send this without taking 1hour for a page to load. I've fiddled with a bit with my router firewall, but nothing seems to prevent these bastards from attacking me ports. I contacted my ISP and they told me that I'll have to handle it myself since it's a hardware problem not related to their equipment. There's nowhere I can't reach. oh my gawddd |
