Postcards From The Firewall

[Lancecastor]

Here's a fun one:

219.165.244.130 is a reserved address

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved this address for its own use. Unless you are on a network that is actively involved in the development of the system for assigning IP addresses, this address was probably forged in order to hide the identity of the sender.

Is not.

 

[Lancecastor]

Japan 61.119.157.88.

Japan as well.
Just to state this,either it's some japanese that is pinging you that your Firewall picked up or someone is using an "Anonymizer" going through a third party proxy to ping people.

You're probably not singled out as one usually sets a scanner up to ping a whole slew of IPs in batches and then see where the door is open to go check if they seem to hold interest.

My firewall blocks port scans a dozen time a day. It's just internet crud.

 

[Lancecastor]

Yes. Postcards from the edge device.

Yup,which is why I dislike this crying wolf that's been going on here lately.

tu n'est pas venu m'aider dans mon thread le castor....tu me manques...

 

[Harbinger]

People should be reminded to have good firewall protection, and know how to use it, but not because of any threat from here.

[Lancecastor]

Yup,which is why I dislike this crying wolf that's been going on here lately.

I agree. People should put their packets on the table or shut up.

Anonymized or bulk port sweeps, at least we're all talking entire IP addresses instead of playing The Great Carnac.

[freakygirl]

Does anyone know where I can get info on the kinds of probes that my computer is getting?

I found one website with a little info on one of the kinds of probes.. but I haven't had much luck with the others.

Is that "crying wolf" line directed at me

No not really,you posed a question.
it was one sincere question in what seems to have become a snoballing misch-masch of baying at the moon that nothing on this place is safe and that Lit is in fact just a cover for the collected hackers of the western world,doing nothing but reading PMs and trying to get into your computer.

It pisses me off that grown people behave like a bunch of three year olds scared about the dark.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Postcards From The Firewall

Thank God you didn't reply in French. I'd have worn out poor babelfish for sure.

 

[freakygirl]

Pagliacci

Thanks for answering my question.

And again, for the record, I'm asking questions because.. I'm curious not because I care. My firewall is stopping a lot of shit... from Lit, From yahoo and from MSN messenger. It's doing the job I installed it to do.

A year ago.. I was firewall free.. because I knew nothing about it. Now that I have one, I'm curious as to what it does.. how it does it.. and why things probe my ports. Computers fasinate me.

I know you are,that's why I'm responding
Now why did you say that Yahoo and MSN ping you as well,people will start a gazillion threads about how their IMs and webacm photos are being seen and IM logs being read by Yahoo and MSN personnel and that their privacy is in jeopardy

I'm off to the bath though.

 

[freakygirl]

Well shit!



I'm off to shower..
