Question of topic of BT

[imported_anubis2k7]

I will do some research on packet analysis and get back to yea on that

packet analysis = analyzing your network traffic packet by packet. The simplist way to do this is to run wireshark and browse the web. All the web data, as well as the TCP/IP info or Ethernet data (if you're on a LAN) will be logged.

Most IDS systems log supicious network activity a la wireshark so admins can go back and look at exactly what/who was attacked/scanned, from where etc (aka packet analysis or packet forensics).

What you are seeing is quite common, fear not. Keep up with updates, don't download anything questionable and you're good to go.

IMHO, most firewall programs are a rip...they guzzle up your cpu resources...if you're just an average cpu user, windows firewall, is more than good enough. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent troubleshooting 3rd party client-based firewalls at my work for users that 90% of whom have no obvious use for (a laptop for a housewife who uses it check email and upload photos of her kids does not need norton internet security) When I ask them why they have them, most of the time they say it came with the computer on a trial basis, and they upgraded to full due to fear of being hacked. To me, this is a marketing strategy based on FUD.....

ok enough rambling for me. back on topic, this link should also prove useful to you:

Ok i analyzed my network from what I see (and you said) everything looks good
the link did help. every bit of info help's
But there still coming so....... I've done a few test's
I've changed my IP (dynamic) they would stop for that nite
then the next day it would happen
changed it again same thing
so I asked one of my coworks (that live's down the street) if he was having the same issue and he is. So I set up my neighbour with my firewall. Samething, so we have come to the conclusion that they are scaning this node. All 3 PC's in the same node same attackers.

Now the question is there someway to stop it or should we just let it be???

What you are seeing is quite common, fear not. Keep up with updates, don't download anything questionable and you're good to go.

And Thank You for all of your help

Heh, I done that before. I got scammed, but I read all about the CCNA via textbooks etc and I'm going to go for it again as soon as I move house. Good luck with it! Was also a cabletech for ONE day! lol...never seen as much cables in my life...the trays are handy for home-use though

Hope you find a good netsec setup, as mentioned by anubis, the link that discusses the Snort/CentOS/BASE setup is really worth reading. I learnt a lot from that.

As far as official BT books go I don't know of any, plus, you don't really need a book about Back|Track per say, you just need to research whatever tools you are trying to utilize. Check the tutorials section here on the site and also check http://forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=7161 for a lot of very good resources. Let me know if there's something in particular you're interested in and I'll help you (ATTN everyone) out the best I can.
