My firwall detected an attack today, and it gave me an IP and port. I assume that is of the PC that attempted that attack? How can I find out who that was? Is that possible? Or is that illegal, I would like to find out. I have been getting symptoms of hacking my machine lately, and this is a plain a simple yes.

and paste in the IP address
you'll at least get the web provider
Then email them with the IP addy and the time - they should be able to do somethingComment

Yeah but I just wanna know what I can do to prevent it. I used the site you gave me, and the ISP was my own, so they live around here, and I probably know them. Good news, my dad is a director at the ISP
. He's gonna find out who it was today at work. It's definately one of my friends, I'll tell them to screw off because it's no use.

well by having a firewall that indicates who is attacking you, then you are doing all you can
what type of attack was indicated (backdoor sub seven?)Comment

Nothing big, just a port scan..."If everything is under control your not moving fast enough."

well that's pretty minor and your firewall will block all of those
otherwise get in touch with a sys admin and let them know - just document in a notepad file what kind and what time of atacks - then email it to them - they should do something - especially if it's from your own ISPComment

Yeah I know, I told my dad when he came home from lunch. He's going to look into it at work (he works at the ISP)."If everything is under control your not moving fast enough."

Most "Attacks" are not attacks at all.. its like this..you have a guy in Asia..trying to ping a router in Jamaica.. he mis-types the I.P. address by one digit and BAM he pinged 20000 people with the same ip and different ports. The ones you want to report are FTP Port probes (Someone trying to login to your machine to transfer/retrieve files. And.. Trojan Horse probes. Most of the time the hits you get are erroneous misdirects (someone built a webpage and put the wrong address in a link..now people hit your machine instead of the one they're supposed to be hitting.) This list goes on and on.. no big deal. I'd mainly look out for the more severe probes, FTP/TROJAN HORSE/NETBIOS. Also... if your firewall got the ip..that person didn't get in.. its the "Hackers" that get around your firewall and leave no evidence... those are the ones to worry about
