Since I've moved out on my own I only have 3 computers to defend.
A laptop, desktop, and 'server' (a desktop with daemons / services depending upon which side of the fence you stand on. )
Currently I have a cable modem going into a 12 port hub, to a wireless router with one client. I use 128 bit WEP, MAC filtering, No SSID, and I change the keys and passwords every so often. The server I have is a debian box (this week lol) thats multihomed and sits in the DMZ most of the time. I'm constantly messing around with snort, tcpdump, nessus, etherreal, disco, and other services that might further my security knowledge somewhat. I only fire up this box to hack, so if something goes awry I just shut it down, and re-install. (note: I said HACK, not CRACK) And my XP desktop has a software firewall, behind the NAT router, updated automatically, with AV and malware prevention / scanning / removal software.
Doesnt really give me any problems because I'm proactive, not reactive.
Jonesy, who heard that catch phrase when he first came to AO and it sorta stuck with him.
