Subject: Servers on the Net. Hack Attacks
Vulture    12/17/2005 12:01:39 PM
47 minutes is all it takes when you put an unprotected (or a honey pot) out on the net. I believe that number is a median time from a computer security site study.

Personally I use a $20 NAT router to act as a cheap temporary Firewall till I have the OS, patches, and application installed. Then I change the IP addresses on the server and remove the NAT router.


Yeah I build clusters at CoLos around North America and I have to be paranoid, those sites are magnets for attacks.

I hate it when I format my computer, and then reinstall my internet software and get back on the net.... it is a race to get my virus scan and firewall and all the Microsoft critical updates downloaded before I'm attacked. I always get a few minor viruses in the mean time.

That why I use a Mac now. : ) My son in law makes a great living securing banks against attacks. He tells us that even medium size banks are under attack nearly 24/7 now.
