Say you had an afflicted machine on the public internet, but completely firewalled in terms of IP, is this exploitable? I'm still not clear on how it happens.

Say you had an afflicted machine on the public internet, but completely firewalled in terms of IP, is this exploitable? I'm still not clear on how it happens.
Edit: Sorry read a bit deeper. Presumably this has to be enabled in the bios, but O/S level firewall won't help. Ack.
- mjg59 9y agoFirewalled at which stage? OS-level firewalling will do nothing, but if your border is rejecting packets for port 16992 then only people on your local network will be able to attack you.
- Clownshoesms 9y agoThanks. Didn't realize there's another big thread, will have a read.

- Clownshoesms 9y agoSorry for not linking it, was in a rush.
- i336_ 9y agoNot at all a problem.
- hultner 9y agoIs there any reliable way to test this over the internet if I have a machine which I currently can't physically access? Am I safe if it doesn't connect with telnet on 16992?
