thanks James and everyone
First off, the last thing I want to do is to break the rules here or offend any one.
That is why I tried to be clear that my purposes are not nefarious.
Its mostly cureiousity and the fact that I am currently (trying) setting up a firewall. I got rid of ZA, and don't believe that the one that comes with XP is all to great, and am using one called TPF (Tiny Personal Firewall). Which is very configurable. A lot of it I do not pretend to understand. Which all the more gets me to wondering how someone on another personal computer at home can infilltrate me. I do not use Linex so I am cluless to it.
I have used programs like multiproxy that are supposed to totally hide you and found it combersome and felt like i was getting paranoid. I have also learned about teteport some (not much). So I have a clue as to how ppl get into a server. and as HAL said about the script kiddies actually putting a program in your pc ( i never load something unless I am positive what it is.).
Just so I am somewhat clear on what you are saying James is that someone gets into a server, then they have some kind of administator priv. and can find my/whoever, personal info? And get into my PC through my ISP's server?
At least that makes sense to me.
And thanks morriswindgate, the site is very usefull. I didn't kno which ports were which etc...
thanks again for everyones time
