Hacker Problem

aneriel · #1 08-26-2007, 12:51 PM

Anyone else have any troubles with people hacking your server? Haven't even had mine up for a day and someone is already running DOS commands on my server. Any recomendations on keeping them out? I have to be able to remote access it as I don't have a monitor setup. It's a Windows Media Center pc as well.

Plus how do I lock my server down? And how do I ban accounts? I hate to already have to go to this, but putting with fucking hackers is not something I was setting up my server for.

Thanks in advance ..and sorry for the language, none too happy right now

Probably, you are using a regular windows 98 or XP OS? I would suggest you set up a secure - Linux EqEmu server, as the windows version is very costly.
I didn't know it was so easy to hack in like that - are you sure you don't have any Trojans, Virus, Malware, etc?

wish i had time to setup a linux server, but it took me a few days to get what I have up and running. The OS is basically XP, but the Media Center version. I'm installing anti-virus, spybot, etc right now. It's pretty much a fresh install so i didn't have all that going *smacks head*. we'll see what happens i suppose.

If anyone knows what to do about IP addresses, I found this in my run command (along with some dos commands ..ftp included)

Do you have a router? if so, shut all ports, void ones in use (shut ftp port too) - I know XP has a firewall, but I think router firewall is better (it's a hardware firewall), you can disable windows firewall if you have router firewall
