Hacker Attack E-mail Alerts
Figure 38. Hacker Attack E-mail Alerts
An anti-attack algorithm is built in to the BroadGuard so that it can protect client
PCs from conventional attacks. With BroadGuard, you have a professional
firewall but without any specialized setup/configuration. BroadGuard gives your
network the capability to prevent many kinds of hackers’ attacks.
If you turn on the e-mail alert function, whenever BroadGuard detects an Internet
attack it will automatically send an e-mail with an attached log file to you.
The info. will look something like the following:
udp -(203.69.97.139 ,211.55.79.155 )-840 -port scan attack-forward
udp -(203.69.97.139 ,211.55.79.155 )-546 -port scan attack-forward
udp -(203.69.97.139 ,211.55.79.155 )-544 -port scan attack-forward
In the example above, the first IP address (203.69.97.139) on each line indicates
the address the hacker is using. The second (211.55.79.155) is the user's Internet
IP address. As for ports 840, 546, and 544, they are the numbers of ports that are
being attacked.
Forward this e-mail to your BSP for analysis.
Note: The e-mail alert is sent at approximately the same time your computer is
attacked.
Enter the e-mail address that the warnings should be sent to.
The e-mail server address can be obtained from your broadband service provider.
