Sometime last year, I saw an article that talked about a tool that quickly and
easily shows attempts to hack in to a computer. I think it was either in the
Fedora magazine or Gnome's website. I've since made multiple attempts to find
that article, but failed. I'm needing to check for hack-in attempts (something
I suppose I should do quazi-periodically anyway). What is the tool/application
to do that? If such a tool/application does not exist, then what is the best
way for me to do that?
Given that you are behind a router, the chance of any direct hacking attempts is
extremely unlikely. Even if you went on a public wifi, you are only "at risk"
from the other users at your current location (unless it's a wider network like some
places have).
It didn't sound as if he is behind a router since he stated his configuration
is...
"My system is isp -> modem -> workstation. No router at this time."
That's what he said, yes. But most people don't realize that their ISP
modem is also a router. You generally have to ask the ISP to switch the
modem to bridge mode, which I do so I can run my own gateway server.
It's very unlikely that he's directly connected to the internet because
most ISPs only give you one IP address which the modem uses and provides
NAT to the internal network.
