Not a text editor? No computer games? Wow, Contempt.

But, ummm, speaking out of both sides of your mouth, Ekted?

You can't list a browser under Internet Protection.
Stupid.

Although if he had said "I use FireFox correctly" he would be taking the biggest step towards being safe.

I use IE correctly.
I haven't had troubles coming from IE.

Eh. I meant for protection. And I think the only computer game I have on my computer is Continuum.

Using ANY browser correctly will be the key to internet security, I meant no emphasis on FireFox.

Alright, I have a challenge, Donkano. I have no anti-virus or firewall software on my computer, try to put a back door on my computer. There is a file called "password.txt" in root C, tell me the word it contains.

In fact, I'll even make it easier for you. My current WAN IP address is 24.144.126.108. My contact info is in my sig if you want to try social engineering.

Meh Cyan, you're boring, at least accept ICMP.

We should try Ekted, I just don't think he still has 24.31.*.* as IP.

But you just said I'm open to attack, Donkano.

Spec, I don't want a hacker trying to break it, retard. Though I still don't think anybody would be able to get by our router. How do you hack a device that doesn't even reply?

SpecShip · Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2006 5:12 pm *Post maybe stupid* Post subject:

You said you have no firewalls.
If your router is filtering incomings...you're a liar, an ignorant bore or a combination.

He may have a hardware firewall or be behind a NAT device, he never denied those options, he only said he doesn't have any firewall software on his computer.

Most people don't use a hardware firewall, they just connect directly into their modem. When I was talking about the "no AV software leaves you open to back-doors." it was in general. Which also branches to about me commenting about how the majority of AV's available come with a firewall.

Most people their modems are NAT devices, which usually don't forward connects to their clients by default anyway.
