    A firewall made by Phillips 66 and Zippo might be able to stop her Then again, that kind of wall MIGHT damage your computer. MAYBE. I don't know about that one... Someone is going to have to check it out for us

    DoS is just any attack that deny's use of a service or machine. My GF used a hammer to DoS my network after she discovered many gigs of pr0n.
    My girl knows better than to even touch my keyboard. Did you see the sopranos last sunday? Thats what would of happen if she took a hammer to my new sh*t , unless she had the money to fork up new hardware. Then again I do not have store gigs porn on a HD. But I will admit I do have celebrity nudes on my comp, for wallpaper reasons . I've had a girl take a bat to my car, but when the damage goes over $200 it's time to lay a smack down.

    Basically Angellic, it is a skiddy looking to see if your system is already compromised so he can come in and play. You have nothing to fear against a lazy bastard like that. I used to get those all the time and as long as your fire wall stops it you are fine (which you did). Sub-7 is dieing anyways.

    Oh and and Rust, bat to the car eh? I'm kinda curious to know what caused that attack. And as for that hammer, you should have been patched with Microsoft's nosey girlfriend vulnerability. That or cut back on the "Me" time.

    Not meaning to sound rude but what position do you hold in you're company ? alot of these posts about attacks from you are internet noise and asking what SYN/ACK is any admin would have learned at least the basics of tcp/ip before being let loose in a real world scenario so my question to you is how did you get a job as an admin ?

    There is a bit more to it.
    With a DoS attack, the source IP address is usually spoofed, so the the SYN packet generates a SYN/ACK response that hangs (usually from a server that recieves the SYN packet)...there is no legit IP address to respond to...system resources are being wasted, that could be used for legit connection requests. Get enough of these...no more availability.

    Gee, you'd think, wouldn't you? You'd be shocked then what all they HAVEN'T taught us. It's scary, but thankfully I'm learning a lot on my own, with much thanks due to AO. I'm a fresh MIS major (got my degree 2 weekends ago after five long years!) and I've only been net admin since the beginning of this year, and up until recently it was an internship. I was just extremely fortunate that they decided to keep me on after my internship was up, and now I'm picking up on this pretty fast, much of it because I'm posting every single issue I run into on AO for discussion. I guess having a stellar academic record and eager willingness to learn what I don't know is what's saved my hide job-wise.

    We did cover TCP/IP basics, but they didn't cover SYN/ACK attacks. Actually, they didn't cover ANY attacks or security issues whatsoever. They just NOW started security courses, which does me a lot of good now that I'm graduated! Of course, it is an Arkansas college, and we're the poorest state in the nation for a reason.

    Instead, we covered stupid stuff such as spending an entire semester on COBOL programming!!!

    Aaaah, just had to get that out of my system. So as far as security goes, I'm am being completely self-taught.

    I remeber now some months ago AngleKnight when you posted about your job, and I said "they really have thrown you to the wovles". How many comps did they put under you and are they all in the same vicinity? Yep, they don't teach anything really usefull & you don't really learn about real security till the master level, so I've heard.

    You remember correctly. Thankfully I have a bit of a better grip on things since that post. On the one hand this crash-course method of learning is pretty stressful, but on the other it's also very useful. It forces you to think and learn fast since you're starting off with a considerable handicap, and I hope in the end I'll be better off.

    I have somewhere in the vicinity of 20+ computers under me, all in the same building, and from time to time I have remote offices to deal with as well. Our LAN is managed by about nine servers that serve different purposes, from terminal servers to backup servers, and we have a Windows 2000 network.

    Well I'm sure you wil pick up fast; I mean you gotta just play as it comes. Keep posting your questions here and you will keep getting help. And if you want to learn more about a subject then by all means ask and we will teach or refer you to some fine text. And also, I'm up for hearing about the IT world too; let me know how it goes up there and maybe you can teach me some stuff!
