How the ADSL Router defends its Network Security

At present, more and more users are using ADSL. Because ADSL users have been online for a long time and are fast, they have become the targets of hackers. Now there are various more and more detailed "IP address libraries" on the Internet. It is very easy to know the IP addresses of some ADSL users. How can we protect our network security? Take a look at the following methods.

1. Cancel folder hiding and sharing

If you are using Windows 2000/XP, right-click drive C or another disk, and select

"Share", you will be surprised to find that it has been set to "share this folder", but it cannot be seen in "Network neighbors". What is this?

Originally, by default, Windows 2000/XP enables hidden sharing of all partitions, select system tools, shared folders, and shared from the "control panel, administrative tools, and computer management" window ", you can see that each partition name on the hard disk is followed by a "$ ". However, if you type "computer name or IPC $", the system will ask the user name and password. Unfortunately, the password of the Administrator for most personal users is empty, intruders can easily see the content of the C drive, which poses a great risk to network security.

How can we eliminate default sharing? The method is simple. Open the Registry Editor, go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetSevicesLanmanworkstationparameters", create a dual-byte value named "auto‑wks", set it to "0", and restart the computer, in this way, the sharing is canceled.

Ii. Reject malicious code

Malicious web pages have become one of the greatest threats to bandwidth. In the past, Modem was used because it was slow to open a webpage. Closing a malicious webpage before it was fully opened is also possible to avoid recruitment. Now the bandwidth is so fast that it is easy to be attacked by malicious web pages.

Generally, malicious web pages are destructive only when malicious code is written. These malicious codes are equivalent to some small programs, which can be run as long as the web page is opened. Therefore, to avoid malicious web page attacks, you only need to prohibit the running of these malicious code.

Run IE and click "tools/Internet Options/security/Custom Level" to define the security level as "Security Level-high ", set 2nd and 3 items in ActiveX controls and plug-ins to disabled, set other items to prompt, and click OK ". After this setting, when you use IE to browse the Web page, it can effectively avoid malicious code attacks on the malicious web page.
