Dear sir, I would like to describe my setup first. I have 20 machines in LAN connected through single 24 port switch ,I have taken broadband Internet connection from an ISP called "Hathway communications" . ISP provides internet through CAT5 cable which is always on with a static IP. Instead of connecting cable to PC , What I want is to connect it directly to switch and everyone in LAN will get internet connectivity. I need a router preferably having two Ethernet ports and would work as Bridge between LAN and WAN connections. I hope to get help from you to choose the correct router/solution. With regards, Sameeer ]]>SameerThu, 14 Jul 2005 21:58:23 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/home-office/handy-routers-link-computers#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/ip-addressing/using-network-address-translation-to-secure-your-soho-s-web-connection#commentsAnchorTue, 01 Mar 2005 08:44:10 GMT

Has anyone tried to formally charge the people who install the spyware on a personal computer with theft. They have stolen a very small amount of my computer memory and hard drive to use for their own purposes. But small amounts add up. For instance telephone company rate requests given to a public utiliy commission routinly assigns a miniscule dollar amount to every clock pulse a particular function requires, then multiply it out until it produces a rate hike request for things like Caller ID. The principle is that no one can steal my stufff or any part of my stuff. Theft of a few hundred bytes of hard drive is still theft.]]>john lerch Tue, 01 Jun 2004 17:04:15 GMThttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-2000/spyware-part-2#commentsAnchorhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/windows-2000/zombie-attackers#commentsAnchorThu, 26 Jul 2001 04:17:38 GMT

"Gibson mistakenly says that you can’t spoof IP addresses in NT or Win9x"
No. Gibson *does* say that it is possible to develop custom drivers, but that it is not easy to install in a target bot machine over the net.
Windows XP, however, will provide *all* the facilities to send raw packets and spoof addresses, right out of the box, without requiring administrator rights, which Unix does. Furthermore, unlike Unix and Win2000, WinXP is earmarked for mass distribution.
Hackers mustering an army of bots is *not* the only security issue.
Almost any experienced programmer can write an application to flood a target site with short syn packets or email address with messages from spoofed IP addresses. This means the sender cannot be traced.
"Internet warfare programs" running on WinXP will materialize. Imagine a simple application:
- enter target address (eg www.windowsitsecurity.com)
- enter attack duration (eg 10 min, 1 hour)
- fire/cancel
Of course, the application would fire *only* if running under WinXP. All it will take is DNS decoding of the target, a random number generator and a few WinXP API calls to the TCP/IP stack. Nor much effort for a programmer with some communications experience...
When - not if - such software is made available to zillions of WinXP users over the net, do you really think only 13 year-olds will use it? If IP addresses can be routinely spoofed, why bother muster an army of bots to launch a Distributed DoS? Any group of people could launch an attack from their own machines... Think of groups of individuals randomly firing off synchronized bursts left and right, just for fun...
I am very much afraid Steve Gibson may be proved right.
It is quite disturbing to see that major industry experts and commentators will misrepresent Gibson’s views and fail to explain the extent of his warnings, fog the issues and provide support to what I view as an irresponsible position from Microsoft.
I agree that end-users have to take responsibility for their security with whatever means available. This does not mean that some form of limitation over what anyone can do over the net should not be enabled. Perhaps we are talking of an internet gun control issue here.
In their answer to Steve Gibson, Microsoft do not appear not to appreciate the real extent of the issues. Why take a chance, anyway? They could *easily* remove raw sockets accessibility from commercial versions of WinXP - and make a raw sockets driver available as an add-on, with proper security. BTW, who really needs raw sockets anyway?
Question: if you had to give a vote of confidence on this issue, who would you give it to, Steve Gibson or Microsoft?
I can only hope Steve Gibson’s warnings are excessive, but I simply fail to see why we should take a chance.
