Title: Be careful about what you reveal about yourself around here.
Post by: Allen-T on April 18, 2007, 09:55:13 PM

Be careful what you reveal about yourself personally around here. There are those that may not be quite as they seem. Do not ask me for any details about what I mean by this, I think the person I am referring to knows who he/she is and what I mean. It's just a friendly bit of advice. Comment all you like though.

I have shown pictures of myself to a member.  If they come to take me away I hope they go easy.  I am by no means a worldly person.  But you Allen have put a video up of yourself.  You're in big trouble.   ;D  ;)

You are seriously freaking me out.

Don't be, it's really nothing of any major catastrophic proportion, just what I perceive to be some BS in someone's attitude. They already contacted me anyway.

So it's resolved?

So I wasn't the only one who watched a psychological thriller movie tonight?

I haven't gotten a response.

This past Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, each time I accessed the JTF Forum, my firewall alerted me that an intruder was attempting to access my computer.
Further hacking continued, each time trying to access my computer through a different port.
The source location of the hacking attempt?
Arlington, Virginia.

Hmm. How did you find the location? Is this related to Allen-T's comment?

Re:  "...Hmm. How did you find the location? Is this related to Allen-T's comment?..."

I have a program which traces a hack attack against my computer to its country and city of origin, anywhere on the planet, along with the server used by the hacker.  It alerts me and traces it instantly, both while the attack is in progress, and will retrace it months later if necessary.

My comment is related to Allen-T's comment only to the extent that his advice is sound and should be heeded by all.

How to find out if you are being hacked: 

1. Open ms dos by hitting start-run- type "command"
2.  Type "netstat" without the quotes.

Look for anything suspicious. 

Then type "tracert *Whatever the guy's web address was or ip*"
It will list all the routing ip's he's using and will trace him.
