criminalcola Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Is it possible to get a virus thru port 27888? Quote
Genesis Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 The theory says it's possible to get a virus through almost any existing port. Practically, not all of them are used. So, if your question is just "is it possible", the answer's yes. If you also wanna know if there is a known virus that actually uses this very port, the answer's no, or at least not yet (I've checked Google and a few other sites). P.S., this would fit better in the Tech section. Quote
Eliteone Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I agree ! Lots of people here so we could get two really good servers! The server thats up for the moment by SFI is way too laggy, i dont think thats the one you had before is it? Because that one was good...People still play this game and new players still coming in so we need servers! 6268[/snapback] There is always the risk when hosting a gameserver that you could be attacked. You should host on a machine that if it gets attacked and messed up won't bother you or affect any vital data. Quote
SAssER Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 You scare me! I'm hosting from my normal PC on wich I 'work' and stuff But ZoneAlarm and AVG Anti-Virus is always on, though.. Quote
Surak Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 You shoud be more worried for spyware and hackers. Quote
Eliteone Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 You shoud be more worried for spyware and hackers. That falls under the "attacked" I mentioned above Quote
Belgaron Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Think of your computer as your Home...........In your Home you have windows and doors (ports), Most of these windows and doors have screens(firewalls/AV).................... Now think of spyware,malware and viruses as bugs.........Knock Knock...............open the door and see who it is Quote
SAssER Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Well I'm scanning regularly for viruses and spyware... I won't open the door for strangers Quote
