chloroform Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Here's what I found out about netbios-ssn ....Seems to be a process used by SAMBA (seems to be a Linux distribution) for Windows Networking compatibiity.Quick explanation of netbios-ssn ...NetBIOS explanationand here:More info on NetBIOSSeems it's a vulnerability in Windows based systems. More info here:Vulnerability informationThe following link is an article on how to restrict anonymous access. It's for Windows 2000, but I'm pretty sure it'll work on XP.Restricting anonymous connectionsHope that helps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloroform Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'm gussing he established an anonymous connection to your computer. I wouldn't really know though, since I'm not him, and I'm not all that great when it comes to all this vulnerability stuff . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newdles Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 What operating system do you run? NetBIOS isn't just for Linux networking to Windows. It's actually its own language. It stands for Network Basic Input/Output System. All it does is allow applications on different computers to communicate with each other. Here is a link for you to learn a bit about it if interested - http://huizen.dds.nl/~jacco2/samba/smb.htmlHere, go have fun http://members.rogers.com/viperzone/HelpFi...rk/netstat.htmlnewdleshttp://www.webzila.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newdles Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I’ve been playing way too much “Enter The Matrix” and not doing enough online.This guy has the wrong idea. He's been doing too much of everything he's doing and needs to get out and enjoy life. There is so much more than just behind a computer monitor all day long. I love my computer(s) and enjoy using them as well as configuring and tweaking them here and there when needed. However, I live my own life and enjoy doing other things. This guy has nothing but a computer it seems. Shame.newdleshttp://www.webzila.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomcaT Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Well???? Is he dead? did he explain himself b4 U wiped him out?? In suspense!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 28, 2004 Author Share Posted March 28, 2004 lol whenever i went to his room, it was locked and no one replied. instead i went to resident computing thing and wrote him up hahahbut u know they always work slooowly and they said he might have a virus or something. but i don't see any virus that is set to attack my computer :#!$ anyways firewall does its job. i've blocked all incoming and outgoing stuff from his ip.
