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.

Click Save to store the settings. Click Restart to initialize the BroadGuard with the new settings.
