Quoting T Roy troylinux@yahoo.com:
- i wanted to know names of some good free proxy
servers and also how to configure Mozilla for the same.
- how to know that all my data is going through the
proxy. can any tool like 'tcpdump' help ?
- also how to get the Internet Firewall working( i am
using RH 8.0 ).
use iptables. Then install a front end. A decent text based front end is shorewall. It has commands lookup the shorewall website (I think www.shorewall.net). There is a GUI front end called BiFrost which does status monitoring of firewall also, but it uses web-based interface so you have to run apache and a webserver I think.
- how to know whether the firewall is working or not.
any tools ?
- One last question, i know i shouldnt be asking on
this list, but then i am sure many people on this list use windows. i got infected by 'msblast.exe'
hehehehehehehehe
and my
Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) seems to be screwed up, for which i cannot activate internet firewall( so i cant download DCOM patch from microsoft site ) nor can i do a system restore. my windows partition(Windows XP Professional) is disconnected from the internet and i have removed all traces of msblast.exe( ie /windows/system32 and registry ) but WMI just doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions ??
should've used zone alarm pro with windows as a firewall, it blocks all ports whenever there is an attack that matches their databases and then automatically adds parameters to the system restore point. I once tried to run an ssh server on cygwin and zone alarm thought it was a trojan attack and froze all my ports and crashed my compu as a "safety measure".
