Attack from the outside or the inside? Do you have any public facing application? Ask yourself this, what used-ports am I allowing and why? Public webserver? Running secure code? Public FTP? On 3 Mar 2008 10:39:16 -0000, cdunn () foxwood notts sch uk <cdunn () foxwood notts sch uk> wrote:
Hi, I work in a school in nottingham, UK we access the internet via the EMBC who inter-connect all schools and colleges to the internet. The EMBC manage our site blocking and spam filters for E-Mail. The proxy we use to access the net is heavily filtered and all un-used ports are closed, making an attack as far as I can see VERY difficult. My question is just how vulnerable is our school network? is there still potential there for an attack to take place? or would this be so difficult and the rewards to few for an attacker to bother? Thanks Craig Dunn
