I have herd of many ways. Lets just assume you know my IP and nothing else. You want to get on, not just to crash it. I do not run ports such as net bios. Is it possible at all to get on with so little information?

*tut tut tut* Bad question.
Is it your computer. Because if it is, why don't you just use a remote administration tool? If it isn't your's, don't bother doing it at all.
i can walk into your house and stand on it.
[thats how i get onto it without netbios].
With such little information, I think it can only be dignified with a "Yes." And the simple reason... if you're protecting against someone bound and determined enough and with adequate knowledge, they'll get in...Quote:

DOH! I hate it when that happens... to quote linuxcommando, I think. LOL
umm, nice double post draziw.
The answer joe, is yes, it is possible. Because it doesn't take much information. Everything else can be found out. Someone doesn't even to know what OS you are running. Can use nmap or something to figure that out. In other words, if you are connected to the internet, you are vulnerable.
The answer is, yes. For one thing, mostly all ya need is Ip/Host or DNS info. Second their are thousands of exploits to use such as my favorite, Telnet. :)
I was under the wrong impression that to break into someone you needed them to be running a service on one of their ports other than local ones. If I put a software firewall up could they still exploit it even if they did not know what ports to use?
yeah it just makes it harder, there is always someway around it.
