Not totally stealthed??

Hello again Phant0m``

I did a true complete format and reinstalled LNS trying out the enhanced ruleset and Phant0m`s-May22.rls

It still had a ping reply .Everything else was stealth.



Q-ball ---scratching his head --is all this really worth it? lol--[ i think so]


I do believe with Phant0m`s awesome ruleset my comp is pretty well protected but would be hackers on net will come across my ping reply and want to check things out.


Sense ive grown fond of LNS i can only hope that we can find out what is going on.

I will wait and see .

Regards

 

Hey Q-ball

As I said before the Default rule-set should have stealthed you but it didn’t, my Rule-set was absolutely suppose to Stealth you as ICMP Inbounds/Outgoings are ALL blocked by Default…

So basically what i'm saying if a Leak actually occuring nothing done in the rule-set can help you with, and i do believe it's either false alarms or it's getting a PING from another Machine... Otherwise i would say for some reason any Software Firewall you Install leaks for abnormal reasons....

I still cant see Sygate Personal Firewall stealthing you under these abnormal circumstances...

Regards,

 

Hey Q-ball

That rule-set has been improved, download the recent copy from my web-site... More Info can be found at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=9584;start=15

 

Well i just got adsl here 2 wks ago.Had cox cable broadband before that. IT seem to lose sych with the net too much--so i changed to adsl.

2wks ago when i had cable ,i also had sygate pro on my computer that did pass all the test with no ping reply.

I just installed sygate pro on my comp again to test ,and it was stealth but had ping reply.

So this made me look at other factors.I called bellsouth about my modem and they as of yet have not been much help.

I have the wirespeed 2100

I have a westell adsl modem that seems to have a firewall built in,but bellsouth did not seem to know anything about that.

Bellsouth claims that there advanced tech support will call me later and try to help.

The ping reply may be coming from my modem---not the software firewall.


What do you think?

 

Alright the modem is replying then....
You need to Disable the Modem from replying....

 

[move]That's why i asked if you was behind a Router [/move]

 

I didnt consider my modem being a router.Bellsouth didnt even know that it had a firewall built in.


I d/l the manual for the modem and it does have configuration for low-med-high security settings.----But bellsouth could not tell me how to get to those settings.There was no software or manual included with modem.


I called westell and im on hold right now.
