![]() And everyone agrees, the Windows firewall is hardly rock solid. And a lot don't even know whether it's on, what it will do, and whether or not it's had a bunch of holes punched in it over time. Today, it comes with Windows and a lot of people still don't know what it is. In the old days, most people didn't know what a firewall was and it certainly didn't come with Windows. If there's no firewall, or it's off, the attack works. If the machine is "safe", the attack doesn't work. But, has it changed so much from the old days? I'm still operating under the assumption that most hackers are looking to send out their attacks to the machines that respond. Anything can be hacked, and, if you want to work that hard, you can easily set up to send your attacks out to those non-responses.
