[XCSSA] Help I'm under attack!

[xcssa@xcssa.org]

Thanks Tom,

    Glad to be here on the Internet...I think. Attacks did not seem to be 
this big of a problem with RR. Been on the net for years, I guess obscurity 
isn't enough anymore. Don't think any attacks breached the firewall. Had the 
generic rules in place for blocking request outside the LAN. Added one 
that's suppose to help with smurf attacks. Turned off all the UPNP stuff, 
turned off Ping reply and remote access options. Its a DI-614+ D link 
wireless/router. Have turned on all the security options that I know how to 
configure. Changed passwords and factory address. Flashe to latest firmware. 
I think I'm as secure as I can be. Just got concerned with all the DOS 
attacks in the last couple weeks. This is a new neighborhood with allot of 
wireless routers unsecured. I think I'm surrounded by zombies!!!!!!!-) I 
will continue to monitor my router logs and learn. I think some of the 
problem stems from the fact I just started looking at the logs when I could 
not browse the web even though all appeared to be working fine. Resulting in 
me being paranoid. So I just need to relax?
