Author Topic: Note to self: never download without a firewall  (Read 4736 times)

They can get through firewall if they really wanted to. I don't try to use it as it's pointless in that it hinders a lot of online playability. If someone wants my vacation photos that much, they can have them. I never keep anything important on my pc for too long. I back things up every month or two and archive it on DVDR. Saves me a lot of time should I ever need to reformat.
there's this new thing called the external hard drive, you should look into it.

He's saying he backs up every month or two (never said onto what media) AND archives it onto DVD-Rs in case his backup media becomes unusable.

They can do what's called a buffer overflow attack, but you'll likely notice if this ever happens. It's not exactly the sneakiest way to get into a system.

The only places I've been frequenting on this laptop is this site, somethingawful, photobucket, and youtube. That's it. I never use this to visit any research sites and I don't download warez, so you tell me. Unlike you underage kiddies I don't go online if I ever want to look at research.

I was downloading fallout 3, a 12 hour process given I'm using the slowest high speed internet service available to me, I was doing it via steam after I bought it off steam. Midway through the process programs started closing and processes like explorer.exe were bugging out and closing. I rebooted and pretty much lost all internet capabilities, and a bunch of apps were still closing randomly. I tried to fix it in safe mode but symantec couldn't find what was going on. Whatever it was had also deleted all my system restore states as usual. So I gave up until I got a hold of my bro's laptop to fix things.

But who am I kidding trying to convince you of all people. I could get you a screencap of my steam games list, maybe my CD key too why not, but you'd call it a photoshop or some gay stuff so forget it.

If you're getting stuff, then you most likely are doing something stupid.

The best policy to avoid things is to use common sense. Next time you get something, figure out the source and avoid it.

I can go a week without going anywhere but these forums, yahoo mail & Wikipedia (and I have) and I am still finding tracking cookies. I'm not saying I get viruses, I don't (and you have to let the vast majority of them in by downloading something) but adware, spyware tracking cookies, ect can be gotten from even trusted sources. If you have an access to the internet you will get stuff you don't want.

Common sense has nothing to do with the long legal agreements to things like gmail (or pretty much any free mail) that say in very small print that you may get some spyware by clicking "I agree".

really? I leave this computer on 24/7, go to new sites everyday, download all sorts of stuff, and never have a problem. the last time i had a virus was a year ago and i knew exactly what i was doing and what caused it

I never have problems either (good spyware goes completely unnoticed and has no effect on the system), I am saying that despite every precaution taken you will still have various companies out there that want to know your surfing habits and will be doing everything in their considerable power to find out what they are.

If you accept cookies only from trusted sources: congratulations, you have tracking cookies. Because you need cookies to log in to your mail and at the same time they tell the mail companies where you go when you navigate away from the page.

Can someone hack all of those IPs for me? I have a lot more of them.

I never have problems either (good spyware goes completely unnoticed and has no effect on the system), I am saying that despite every precaution taken you will still have various companies out there that want to know your surfing habits and will be doing everything in their considerable power to find out what they are.

I know a guy that bragged about having thousands IPs with a neigh-impregnable homemade firewall, to his hacker buddies, his buddies thought it would be funny to change his desktop to gay research remotely.

Aye, that is true, I was simply saying that in spite of firewalls you can still get "stuff".

I know a guy that bragged about having thousands IPs with a neigh-impregnable homemade firewall, to his hacker buddies, his buddies thought it would be funny to change his desktop to gay research remotely.
for that to happen:
he would need some kind of thing like a server, vpn, vnc server, etc. running
they would most likely have to know exactly what program it is
they would need to know exactly what port that program uses out of 65,000
they would have to know at least two passwords
they would have to know how to get past that specific firewall

they knew him in real life, what do you expect


for that to happen:
Duh

This I know, it was just a funny anecdote.

This I know, it was just a funny anecdote.
it is completely irrelevant in current context, implying somebody can hack me in my current state at this very moment just by giving them my ip

I implied nothing and the "context" is the off-topic section of the blockland forums. Try not to forget that, I don't even take dead relative threads seriously here.

Windows Firewall + AVG Free Firewall = condom for internet.
I got that, but I still got like 3 trojans. I had to send it in to Geek squad, it took them a month and a half to fix it. Luckily I had a warranty. They needed to replace the motherboard, the hard drive, the video unit, basically 75% of the computer was replaced. The guy said they shoulda just given me another one. Now I have kaspersky, it already protected me from 2 trojans:



I wub my Kaspersky, yus I do :3
