I have cable and I think something is screwy with my net connection, my ping sometimes goes all to hell. I'm using the latest version of kpf and under the security logs I get the following "attack" logged every second. Description: "RPC rpc.xfsmd xfs_export attempt UDP" The remote address is different for each attack and the Reference URL is http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/5075

/edit oh forgot the attack class is: rpc-portmap-decode

Go to that reference url provided some information about the "attack" but I'm still confused as to what exactly it is and how to fix it..or even if its a real attack...

Is there something I can do to fix this or is this just random noise? it looks like this exploit is for unix boxes?
 
Hmm I think I know the culprit...I'm suspecting I installed a malware/trojan of some sort that was initiating this behavior...its called iOO Trace IT and has me very suspicious..
 
hmmm maybe it wasnt that application after all...these attacks only seemed to crop up after I installed the rc1 of kpf....reverting to b7 gets rid of them...
 
maybe a bug maybe b7 doesnt catch them

*still lookin for Enyo

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
