Well, If you're planning on doing that, remember to take some protection...

Dr solomon works pretty well in that respect...

Its excellent, whilst they think that noone can get through their passwords on their shares, along comes a little proggy called 'Cain'

Crack em real fast.


copy copy copy.

Hmm... how about setting nukenabber to ban any computer that makes lotsandlots of connections to port 139...? Would that work? It's been ages since I've used it...

Not really a problem for me though, as most of the lans I'm ever on are one-room jobs... If someone's stealing your filez, just hit them

Whats LAN 101, is it like room 101 where tasteless things must go to die.

 

[old.Fish]

Nah, that's AOL...

[topic] 101 is the introductory class in ameriacan unis... And possibly highschools as well...

Glad I live in scotland...

ahh as I get it the best defence is to disable file and print sharing and have no shares. Alternately only have a single shared directory (read only) for other people to access.

If the lan crowd are pranksters I use the first option and copy a cd with all my stuff on it and share the spare cd drive

 

[old.Fish]

Nah, the best defense is to use linux...

You can get samba to block by IP number, which should happily ban anyone you don't want accessing your machine...
