• Why is my Mac subject to ssh hacking attempts?

  Hello

  In recent days, I noticed a lot of messages relating to the hacking attempt of the root via sshd (aka remote connection) account. Here is an article of an attempt of the Console log:

  19 Mar 11:54:20 gamimac sshd [2604]: error: PAM: authentication failure for the root of 183.3.202.114 via 192.168.0.4

  192.168.0.4 is NAT had a local IP from my Mac. I want to know is how an external IP address can launch a ssh connection via my router when it is has NOT currently configured port forwarding for ANY port as you can see below:

  

  Not having not not an idea how this happens, I stopped sshd on my Mac (Fortunately, I only need ssh * in * machines this machine) and disabled the root user. Any help or insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  DA.

  The router can have a framework for a "default host" or "DMZ". All unspecified incoming connections will be forwarded to this host by default.

• Hack attempt? I is there a way I can tell what is happening?

  If someone tried to access my account to try a bunch of passwords, or possibly changing the password:

  (1) is there a way I can tell what is happening and

  2) trace to their computer or this person?

  (3) I see which passwords they were trying?

  Thank you!

  Why do you think that what is happening?  Do you receive messages or anything like that?  You see in your accounts of e-mail or online activity that does not belong to you?

  Here is how to monitor events of access (even if she does not allow her back or see which passwords they used):http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Monitor-attempts-to-access-and-change-settings-on-your-computer.

  If you determiine attempts were made, contact your ISP, and they may be able to trace the location (although you may need the police involved to get them to do).

  I don't know any way to identify the passwords they were trying (unless the ISP can provide this information).

  You must also report it to the authorities (the police) so they can try to track down those criminals who cause damage even more before all is said and done.

  You can also report it to the internet crime complaint center if necessary

  http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

  Here's a suggestion on what to do next (even if it has not produced specifically for you-there is a risk of what happens):http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/bank/PhishingVictim.mspx

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Phone call warned that a "hacker" attempts to access my computer.

  I just got a phone call indicating that a 'hacker' was trying to acess my Windows operating system.  I was instructed to go to the computer and follow the instructions.  I don't have that.  What is a legal appeal or a scam?

  No, it is not legal but an attempt to get to either give someone access to your computer or make you buy a worthless or even dangerous software.

  You ask yourself who would call you even if such an attempt has been made. A checking the logs of most firewall routers frequently show "probes" by external connections to a network. Why would they choose you ' help '?

• Drive C: locked TPM (security device)

  I tried to restore an image of my drive C: using Macrium Reflect.  Macrium said that the C: drive is locked and he can't find the drive, it finds that the backup USB drive so I can choose the image I want to use for the restore but cannot select where I want the image to put because the C: drive is not found. I have used nto bit locker and the drive is not encrypted.  In all other respects, I can access the C: drive and operate the computer normally (read, write, change etc any file). I also have a pop-up to start up, which said: "there was a problem connecting to the module of TPM (safety device) on this computer.  It is possible that anti virus software or a firewall is blocking the connection.  A disk missing or disabled could cause this problem.  Please refer to the online documentation for more information."  I've disabled the firewall and disabled security of the BIOS chip and have disabled the TPM, but none of these things to solve the problem.

  http://www.Macrium.com/support.asp

  I suggest you might try their support, because it is their product that you have problems with.

  It can be a normal problem with their software.

  Read what is the TPM secure:

  http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/DSN/document?c=us&l=en&s=Gen&docid=E75E35123E8AC4D0E030030ABD623A10

  Trusted Platform Module, or TPM module, is a security device that holds the keys generated by computer for encryption. This is a hardware solution which prevents hacking attempts to capture passwords, encryption and other data sensitive keys. The security features provided by the TPM secure are supported internally by

  • Hash
  • Generation of random numbers
  • Asymmetric key generation
  • Asymmetric encryption/decryption

  Each TPM has a unique signature initialized during the process that improves the effectiveness of trust/security of silicon manufacturing. Every TPM must have an owner before it can be used. The user of the TPM secure must be physically present to support. Once this procedure is run and the TPM has a unique owner, the TPM module is enabled.

  See you soon.

• Cannot send mail with windows mail. Get the pop-up Windows security.

  Cannot send mail with Windows Mail. Get the pop-up Windows security.

  Password and username are all correct. POP and SMTP everything is correct. If I remove all virus blocker, always get Windows security pop up asking for password and username; I type in it and click on the option to remember, but the window appears several times without sending a message. Error message box is empty.

  No problem on the end of e-mail servers. Equipped with Windows Vista.

  I deleted the Windows Mail disabled account, rebooted with the new account and the same problem.

  Can I receive the mail, but Windows Security blocking my attempts to send and don't remember the password and username that I type.

  Help!

  This kind of behavior is very often due to antivirus.  You are using.  If its McAfee or Norton get rid of them completely.   There are others who are also incompatible.  Everything you try, make sure that the analysis of e-mail is disabled.   You can also try to repair the database and see if that helps (see www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).  And see also www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

• Any concerns of connection VPN security issue.

  Hi guys,.

  I set up a VPN on Cisco ASA & our mobility users are able to connect VPN successfully and access my LAN environment but our senior management says there provide less security & any hacker can hack easily.

  Someone can help me on this point, how can provide more security in Anyconnect VPN, I think on the Anyconnect host control features, but I think it works only with the secure desktop.

  Kind regards

  Nafis Ashique

  In short, you have just a few steps:

  1. enroll the certificate root of your PKI to customers and to the ASA (if not already done).
  2. enroll certificates from the client to the customers. It will be easier if they are in the user store. As far as I know, you cannot use the certificates stored in the IPsec VPN client store.
  3. reconfigure the ASA to use certificate authentication

• HP ENVY 5530 e allin one: my printer keeps showing offline, tried many things to try to resolve including uninstall.

  Help.  I'm at a total loss what to do next.  My printer is telling me it is disconnected.  I was on different websites and downloaded the troubleshooting to solve the problem.  When I ran the computer troubleshooting somes back saying the printer isn't switiched, although it most certainly is.  Have uninstalledd the software and installed again. Sometimes it cfomes on then it turns off again. Any help much appreciated.

  Number of brand and model of the router?

  These settings are to set up your printer wireless (or wired):

  • Stay connected to your router
  • Trouble printer status 'offline '.
  • All wireless devices stay better connected
  • Fact faith, your router most secure and hack
  • Can speed up wireless printing

  While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers (wired and wireless) should always be assigned a (fixed) IP address manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network and must be outside the range of the router DHCP.  After setting the IP address static, computer must be updated to show a Standard TCP/IP port with the IP address of printers under printer properties/Ports. 

  1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here and here and still more here.  Video here explains the problem and how to solve the problem. <-so watch it!
  2. Or check in the printer "Auto Off/sleep/Energy Saving Mode" is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check your printer properties.
  3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
  4. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a socket wall and not to a UPS, power strip or a lightning arrestor. This will cause the printer to drop offline connection and disconnection (checked yes!).

• OfficeJet Pro 8625: HP8625 sleep mode/wireless network connectivity

  I recently bought an OfficeJet Pro 8625 and it worked fine for a few days, with everyone in the House, being able to print wireless connection network (Verizon FIOS via an Airport base station).  However, now it won't keep (or restore) a Wi - Fi connection after going to sleep.

  I can get the printer to work, if I turn it works, then immediately print (but only one machine... If I need to print from two different computers, I have to restart again to use the second computer).

  This is the case for all computers in my house - using several OS X (El Capitan, Mavericks and Snow Leopard) and the other with Windows 10.  I tried the troubleshooting tips that I could locate, and the firmware is up to date.

  I should be able to send a document to the printer from anywhere in the House, from any computer, without walking to the printer and restart it first.  A network printer should be sprained able himself, reconnect to the wifi and print jobs sent to it, but mine doesn't.

  How can I solve this problem?

  4. If necessary and you have assigned a static IP address, try using auxiliary for the preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server.
  5. Wireless printers work only on the 2.4 Ghz band.
  6. Make sure the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP support site.
  7. Check all devices wireless in your home for interference. Check microwave, babyphones, phones, wireless and wireless alarm systems are a big culprit. Any of these will knock at your printer wireless intermittently.
  8. Make sure that your printer and router are at least 6 feet, independently of the other.

  In the router: (refer to the manual of your router for more information)

  1. Use a fixed wireless channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
  2. Set the router to 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps router function.
  3. Always use WPA2-AES encryption (personal), but you can try the "mixed" mode
  4. Disable the WPS and never use it and disable the UPnP for the security of routers. No one can hijack your system now and help with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, research on the web).
  5. If you have a router dual band (2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands), make sure the SSID is NOT identical, they must be different for all the bands, even for networks without comments.
  6. SSID broadcast should be enabled.
  7. Save all the settings. Food at the same time, wait 2 minutes.  Power on router wait 2 minutes.
  8. Marketing the printer and check that it reconnects to the router.

  Windows 7/8/8.1 is discovered the system on or off?

  1. Control Panel/Network and Internet/network and sharing Center / advanced sharing settings.
  2. Under home or work (current profile) / network discovery.
  3. Select "Turn on network discovery" and save the changes.

  Now last thing to do once everything above has been tried and you still have the same problem, completely uninstall and delete the printer and its software.

  Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php and powerful Scan at the end.

  Now go back and reinstall the drivers and full software on the HP website.

  Last resort effort - if your printer has an Ethernet connection, suggest you to get some adapters line and convert your Ethernet wiring for your printer.

• Impossible to stay connected

  I moved to a new city and set up on a new router provided by our company.  Everything worked wonder through our previous router.  Have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a.  Router comes from Hitron Technologies provided through Suddenlink cable company.  Running 2 laptops (with 2 versions of Windows - one provided by work on version 7, the other a personal portable version 8.1)-when I run the printer test page it says the OS environment is Windows X 64 the other says it's Windows NTx86.  I can't get my work laptop (if the printer went to sleep or the computer turned on for a few hours) to run, typing the printer key WPA wireless assistant whenever I want to print something.  Personal laptop that I literally have to reinstall the printer drivers on the computer and even that did not work today.  I have not yet tried the two IPADS yet but had in the past been able have them print via email HPE.  The last time I tried to do that it didn't work.  Needless to say that I can't continue to work in this environment and while I learned more that I always wanted to know about trying various corrections, I am not all tech savvy.  So I need a step by step fix.
