This goddamned determined hacker is trying to hack into my PC. I'm not worried that much, but the hacker is slowing down my internet. How can I stop this hacker? I tryed unplugging my DSL and putting it back in, but there he is trying to get back in. My BlackICE firewall is the only thing stopping him.

Start attacking him back. Surely you know his IP by now. Unless he's sophisticated he probably didn't erase login trails. Give him a warning, and if he doesn't stop either have the authorities run a trace on him or fuck his computer up yourself.

What do you have thats so valuable to him/her?

I assume you are running some form of windows. winxp? turn off your remote desktop, simple file sharing, patch to latest version. 98? heh, there isnt much he can do about you, there isnt really anything to hack, winnuke?

Im going to take a wild guess here, but are you on irc and talking on dalnet? if so, its the dalnet proxy scanners.

edit: I am using winxp, with most services turned off, running windows xp firewall. There isnt much that he can actually "hack" since windows was never intended as a multiuser system and therefore does not come with remote administration functions. Windows 2k/xp systems do come with such features, however they can be turned off easily, and in most cases is not needed.

Also, lots of times you will get little alerts about pings, attempted connects, and so on so on. Dont worry, they are not attempts to hack you. Many things can cause this and generally, 90% of the time, it is NOTHIGN to worry about.

reprisal attacks are stupid. they accomplish nothing and anyone worth half a grain of salt will be proxied at the very least, if not using a dynamic IP, you'll end up attacking someone who isn't doing a god damn thing, and you'll probably get slapped for it...

Get a real firewall, black ice is useless. Get zone alarm.

and what�s the difference?

how is blackice useless? when it comes down the the basic functions of a firewall, there isnt much difference. all that really matters when choosing a firewall would probabbly be user interface and ease of use. IMO the standard winxp firewall works better than most of the other ones, inculding zone alarm.

He keeps on trying. He can't get through because whenever he tries, I either unplug my internet or shut down my computer. I am running XP by the way. I don't know what he could want from my computer though.

I can't remember where but somewhere there was a comparison of several firewalls and BlackIce succomed to most of the attacks put on it. Perhaps they were using a shitty configuration. I don't know, I was just warning them about something that I had heard.

wut i would do is get all the information u can get from wut u know of him, then do everything that he does to you to him,

unless you have a reason not to, call the cops. warn him first if you can...but after that bust his ass
or post his ip on a hackers site and ask for help gettin back at him for somthing (dont say its cause he was hacking u)
btw you arnt alowd to post others ips on this site so youl have to find another
