Hey, i was just wondering if any one has used the above programe and where i could obtain a copy. (is it worth the download?)

Thanx, T

 

The folks at Foundstone are top notch in the consultant field....and one of the first books I read that they were involved with was Hacking Exposed....a must for anyone truly interested in system security.

As for Fport....you can find it on their Intrusion Detection Tools page.

 

Thanxs B!

 

Thanxs B!

 

Thanks Bubba!

 

They say....third times the charm....and you are Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

 

maybe he's a bit lost with posting lol j/k

 

I had a really bad connection, kept hitting sumit reply, so there we go!!!

Downloaded Fport clicked on it and the DOS screen flashes and thats it, sorry to ask but how do you use it properly.

Thanks T

 

Start Menu, Run, type in "command" (without the "s)

Then, use "dir" to list the contents of a director "cd.." to go one directory higher, or "cd *FOLDERNAME*" to go to a folder (type all without the "s)

Go to the directory where fport.exe is stored.

Once you're there, type "fport" in command (without the "s).

Perhaps you can tell us what OS you have and where you placed fport, and I can tell you how to get there.

 

Kye-u,

Im totally new to using DOS> Im using Xp pro and home and have saved Fport to desktop for example how do i go about using it, thanx T.

 

Placing it on the desktop is a little more cumbersome to explain....but if that is the route you want to go....we would then need to know what user name that that particular Desktop folder is located....to then explain how to give the DOS command string to execute fport.exe.

For instance....C:\Documents and settings\tom772\Desktop

I'm a firm believer in organization when it comes to storing files. If you are not organized....perhaps we could kill 2 birds with one stone

 

ok 'Documents folder' if thats ok

 

Are you meaning Documents and Settings....or strictly Documents

 

an easy way to run command based programs is to put it in the system32 directory (fport.exe) - C:\WINDOWS\system32
because command will automatically check there when you need to run one.
so, once it's in the system32 directory go start>run>cmd, OK. then in the dos box type fport, or for help fport /? for the switches.

another way to run dos programs is to install PowerShell XP 3 that way all you need to do to run it is right-click fport.exe and select Command Prompt, then type in fport in the dos box and it should run

 

OK, put fport.exe in the C Drive. Then open the command prompt and type the following:

1. Type "cd.." (Without the "s)

2. Type "cd.." again (Without the "s)

3. You should now see "C:\>"

4. Type "fport" (Without the "s)

5. Enjoy!

 

cheers Kye-U, finally got it working and it shows no threats or strange connections, so very happy. A big thanks to kye-U, but to all who gave advice i really think this forum kicks ass. ( with sites like this, the net will be a better place)

I'm happy it worked
