: I forgot to comment on the PRINTER$ share. This is your : Window's system folder, and it is shared as "read-only". : This is used to make your printer drivers available. It is : very unlikely that you would have any personal files or data : in the system folder. For instance, your registry data is : all stored in user.dat and system.dat in your Windows root : directory. : Nonetheless, it's better to be safe than sorry. It's better : to follow the instructions that I outlined to prevent file : and printer sharing across the internet, unless it is your : desire to share them. In which case, just password protect : your shares with a strong password, and don't share your : printer until it's ready to be used, then turn the sharing : back off. : : Greetings: : : First and foremost .... thanx for the great software. I : : have been configuring my home network (without firewall), : : and I have found this software very useful to identify my : : home network vunerablities. : : Now that I know "enough to be dangerous", by means of : : binding associations and NIC configurations ... I think I : : am relatively safe "unless targeted" by a sophisiticated : : hacker ... but what would they want with my PC info? : : Anyway, there is one open issue with which I am : : uncomfortable.... My shared printer seems to allow access : : into my "system" folder, which of course is where all my : : critical system files reside. What can I do to block : : authorized access to this folder, or am I overly paranoid? : : Thank you in advance.
