Questions this week cover NukeNabber, http_referrer,
restricting Win98, port 111, http redirection, and DShield.org:
I use a freeware product called NukeNabber. Link at:
http://www.dynamsol.com/puppet/ It sounds an alarm and blocks the scanned or
affected port automatically for a configurable period of time. Is this good
enough? Do I need a product that has more firewall functionality?
I would like to know how I can block Internet Explorer 5 of releasing my
last visited site to the next web site?
How can I deny to the user to install on client windows 98 under windows
2000 server?
Lately I am getting A LOT of hits on port 111 at home. Currently I am
blocking it but according to my firewall logs I get around 30 - 50 hits a
day from all over the world. I know that port 111 is the RPC port under NT
(I'm running 2000 Pro.) and I was just wondering is it used for anything
else. I've tried looking around on the web for any exploits involving port
111 but I did not find anything. But still, getting that many hits a day is
suspicious to me.
I have a simple problem. I want that if any user types in http:\url.com..by
mistake then it should get redirected to https:\url.com. I am using
apachewebserver with jserv. Please tell me how to do about it.
