Ah, yes, I do happen to have a question regarding what to do to counter portscans effectively.

Besides just getting a kick-ass form of web security software program, what else can I do when I see a report come up for a Medium strength portscan? And how can I get more information on what KIND of portscan it is besides what my security software antivirus program already tells me (which it just says Portscan: Strength : Medium). ?

And also, if some of these portscans bypass firewalls, how do I prevent people from seeing any of my info if their portscan is successful? And also, IS it legal to send a portscan BACK AT the person if they have done it to you like 5 times already in a month? (Posh! Only problem for me is first Where I would go to send a portscan to someone, and also how to send it).

And also, I’d like to know: even if my antivirus program says that it blocked the portscans, why does my computer still slow waaay down and my internet run into connection issues when I am being attacked? Is it just like my computer taking processing power away to go answer the portscan’s queries or what? :/

Does it mean that the hacker actually got something through? :/

Thanks for the suggestion Elvis, I’ll write something up as I have time, but for those of you looking to conduct your own scans, nmap is an excellent way to do this without paying for it.

This thread was very informative, however, it lack the ability on how to conduct such scans. This post could have been more effect if a real life test would have been done. scanners such as nmap are very effective to use, perhaps worth mentioning on this thread. Overall very informative, but lacks syntax of conductive and carrying out the scans.
