I have Comcast Internet. It is very slow atm. I rebooted all my network hardware and it was still slow. I logged into my router and checked the logs. Under the firewall log it reads:
Is someone ddos-ing me? Perhaps port-scanning? Help! I know I'm safe behind my NAT/Router but it makes me mad that some1 might be trying to compromise my security and make my connection slow. What can I do about this "attack"? Edit to add: Just got off the phone with Comcast Level 1 support  and they told me there is an "outage" in the area. Didn't even want to bring up the "attacks" with Level 1. Anyways, I guess I found the source of the slowness.Can anyone tell me about the security log though? |
Used NeoTrace Pro to ping these fuckers and all of the attacks are originating from China or Taiwan.  My guess is they are compromised zombie computers running automated tasks, but who knows... maybe i need to stock up on tinfoil and watch out for black helicopters.

believe it or not you are going to get attacks from the outside world wether you like it or not. if you use instantmessaging programs, bittorrent, ANY file sharing program your "attacks" will increase even more. if your that worried about it turn your cable/ dsl modem off for a couple hours that will then when you turn it back on it should renew with a new external ip adddress. sygate, zonealarm are decent software firewalls you can install in addition to your router |
Nothing. If the firewall has stopped the incoming traffic, it has done it's job. Plus, that's only 5 hits in 5 minutes, that's nothing. I get hits every second.
That is a small sample of my firewall log at work. 7 hits in 4 seconds and I'm a small site. My firewall generates 30MB (around 240,000 lines or so) of log files a day, all denials. |
