Hey, kind of a new guy to the security field...I only have basic and intermediate knowledge of the subject, but I ran a netstat -ano on my computer the other day and noticed I have a bunch of connections to my computer set on Listening status, that I have not activated myself, and appear to be hackers(?). I was wondering if there's a command to manually close those connections? BTW, I'm running Windows XP if it means anything :P
Also, I was wondering, as I'm getting more and more into security and such, I'm trying to learn as much as I can soon, so to start off, I have a simple question. Windows, any build after 95, scrapped the DOS system and replaced it with a watered down crappier version called Command Prompt :P. When I'm running batch programs, and commands for nbtstat and netstat and such, is there anything better than command prompt, like, can I download DOS somewhere? Also, how exactly do I compile programs from source documents? Thanks much, Sayo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
