As some of you may know, a thread was made by me in t & t saying I was gay and that I had just notified my parents of this. This is not true. After finding out that the post was made using this ip address I freaked out. RE: NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by Kryptonate on 02-14-2006 at 10:27 PM
I doubt it has got something to do with your router RE: NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by Lou on 02-14-2006 at 10:28 PM

quote: Make sure that you have DMZ disabled on your router, make sure that you are using a decient encryption strength if your router has wireless. Don't open ports for no reason, or if you had to open a port for a program that isn't in use anymore, remove the forward. Use a firewall, disable remote administration to your router (Lets you access your router from outside your house). CHange your router password, disable SSID broadcast, um... *thinks* make sure you have the newest firmware for your router... anything else I missed guys?

Just turn off the wireless if you don't use it RE: NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by Plik on 02-14-2006 at 10:45 PM

quote:Because when you think about it, both you can jaguar made the exact same thread, dt has made a script that can do this, and dt said that people where messing about with his scripts. So lets consider the alternative. Someone hacked both you and jaguar, just to post a thread where you come out of the closit, and the fact that there is a script that can do this also happens to be in use at the moment is just a co-incidence. Did any forum members link you to a page on a forum members server around the time the thread was posted? RE: NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by Lou on 02-14-2006 at 11:43 PM

quote:Oddly enough though, I wasn't even home when that was posted. edit: correction, I was. Now, I think I know who made the script. RE: NEED HELP PROTECTING ROUTER ASAP by qgroessl on 02-15-2006 at 03:21 AM
