Hello Shannon, and welcome to the real world ! :-) Have a look at www.dshield.org to have a look at whats going on in port scanning and probing of "unlocked doors". They are collecting statistics all over the world. My own experience is that I would NEVER trust in exit programs only, always use a firewall, better use a combination of firewall and proxy to keep the skript kiddies out and hold up the more serious ones. Best would be to have a router which has its own packet filters and at least some protection against syn flood attacks and damaged tcpip headers between the exernal net and your firewall machine... I could go on, if you are interested ... :-) Regards from germany, Philipp Rusch P.S.: The most serious attacks I have been watching at my customers came from cablemodem accounts of earthlink.net (USA), they seem to have no measure of control about their clients.
