steelmanronald06 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Right, so I got a wireless router, netgear, and I noticed these in my logs: [DOS attack: UDP Port Scan] attack packets in last 20 sec from ip [68.97.45.70], Monday, Oct 15,2007 04:11:30 Well, it has the highest security, and the passkey is a combo of letters and numbers like so: **********### Also, I have static routes set up, so that every time my computer comes on i get the ip 192.168.1.2 and my ps3 gets 192.168.1.3 which leaves my 3 roommates getting whichever is open. So, with that I went and opened all the ports for my computer and my ps3 based on the reserved static ip routes. Thus, my comptuer and my ps3 have open access to everything, but my roommates are virtually locked down. so, what does that dos attack mean?

derwert Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 It's not really a DoS attack, bad wording by Netgear. It's a port scan so someones scanning your public IP for open UDP ports. Netgear may classify it as a DoS attack due to the large number of connections being made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
