 Post subject: Is this any serious????
PostPosted: Thu Feb 03, 2005 5:55 am 
My Firewall keeps saying post log attacking, and every time i check it out it says its comming either directly from my comp, or my internet providers company.

WTF!

Somebody is scanning your computer.
Your computer's TCP ports:
139, 5554, 6129, and 1025 have been scanned from [ip here]..

probably not serious just your firewall logging scans
all hackers scan common ports just cos they scan doesnt mean they can get in :)
you can report scan to your isp and rport the ip if ya want but i dont think its serious
hope this helps ya

Obviously your firewall is doing its job... heres a quick bit of info on what those alerts meant...

Port 139 is used for Windows File and Print sharing, and is a possible attempt to exploit this. Several Trojans are known to do so.

Port 1025 This port is used internally on your machine by the operating system, this would explain why the 'attack' seems to be coming from your PC.

Port 5554 doesnt really do anything other than HTTP functions.

Port 6129 doesnt do anything.


To be honest, it sounds like you could have a n00b hacker trying it on trying random ports (very doubtful) - but most likely, you have just recieved the kind of random alerts that firewalls throw out every day. As for the 'attacks' coming from your ISP, I doubt that - its is probably just something to do with your connection.

I'd say its much more likely that a website tried something that your firewall didn't like - perhaps running a trojan - and that this was relayed via the webserver at your ISP. Keep your antivirus software up to date, and Stop surfing the pr0n!

disable file and print sharing
then in options in your firewall you should be able to set how muchyou get alerted by certain scans or alerted by severity

Actually some ISPS run scans on thier customers for unsecured proxies or other processes.
