home firewall log tweaking
When you configure your home firewall, do you log everything?
I like to poke around in my firewall logs... but its a lot of the same.
Scans for port 137,139,1026,1027,1433,1444, etc.
You know the drill. With all that in there, it becomes very boring looking through.
So, I decided to just not log those specific ports denied inbound (the most common hit ports most likely generated by worms). I still log everything that is permitted inbound. A benefit of it might be that it'll use less resources sending those over to syslog?
Is that a stupid thing to do?
Now when I look at it... I'll notice the stuff that isn't so common. (generated by worms or scripts)
Not that I expect much...
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
