Every day of every week and constant throughout the days, when I click on my firewall log I see this ack packet attack on the diff. ports. Is this what everyone is copping or is there a way to avoid, other than pulling the net plug ? TIA, Regards.
Micro, have you tried running CWShredder available through this link: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=14086 just to be sure that your PC isn't trying to phone home to CWS Cheers
G'day Blackspear, Yes I have been using the shredder for a year or so thanks, as bigc noted,the wall is blocking, but I was wondering if there is a way to stop the attacks. I am wondering if you are copping the same, if you know what I mean, by my first word in this reply ? Regards.
I wouldn't know how to stop the attacks because that kind of thing is on the web 24/7 and if you are connected you are vulnerable. but in your case your security is working well for you. Most everyones firewall log will look somewhat similar. but as long as it is blocking that type of malware you are ok. good luck bigc
At least this let you know that you had CWS, but please go into your admin of Kerio, and disable logging of suspicious packets as it logs 99.5% garbage. Those are not attacks those are ACKnowledgments from closed connections it seems that somehow the connection is allowed, but its being closed off so its sending back ack packets to re-establish the connection. NO firewall should call something an attack when its not, only after Kerio took over Tiny 2x they added these attack bs reference to an attack on some packets which are not attacks. However most firewall vendors of calling something an attack when its so far from the truth it might as well be on another planet.
Thanks bigc, I understood that from Blitzen's post, but when I went to the fwall and could see the other boxes, I wanted to know if any of the rest of the boxes should be altered. Now I can see you just have two checked,I shall do the same. Just for my own interest; Before I unchecked the LSP box, would the constant,non stop,pounding of the fwall log box have been using any of the computer's resources ? Or are they unrelated ? Regards.
bigc, After reading a reply by snowbound referring to your speed I am wondering if you should consider the name, Speedy Gonzales ! LOL Thanks very much for your help. Kind Regards.
