What steps could you take to help secure a computer against internet attacks for a small LAN with 12 computers connected via a hub?

  • The first step would be to install and maintain a good anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-adware software on your computer.
  • You should also enable the built-in firewall that probably comes with the operating system installed on each computer.
  • If the hub is a "dumb" hub, you probably can't do much with that, but if it is a "smart" hub, you can also configure it to provide some firewalling and traffic filtering capabilities. Refer to the manual for the hub to find out what, if any capabilities it might have.
  • If possible, install a firewall and/or proxy server between the LAN and the internet to protect all the computers on the LAN. Turn off the computers when they are not in use.
  • Use usernames and passwords on all the computers
  • If the operating system has the capability to have accounts with different permission levels - like "administrator" and "limited user" create limited accounts on the computers and always operate the computers under a limited account except when absolutely necessary to perform functions that require administrator level access - and then log off the administrator account as soon as you are done
  • Enable pop-up blocking on the browser(s)
  • Set the privacy/security settings on the browser(s) to the most restrictive level that is consistent with operational needs
  • Create an "acceptable use policy" document that spells out what is and is not acceptable use of the computer resources on the LAN and consequences of misuse, then have everyone who is authorized to use the computers on the LAN read the policy and sign an agreement stating that they have read the policy and agree to abide by it.
  • Train all users in best practices for computer security in personal computer use
  • Teach all users to recognize and avoid phishing and other social engineering attacks
  • Require users to change their passwords at least every 6 months - every 3 months or more often if you want to add to relative security
  • Keep all system patches up-to-date including both operating system patches and application patches
  • Only download patches from trusted sites - for example - only get Microsoft patches from the Microsoft site, not a 3rd party site.

What harmful things could computer viruses do?

Slow down email. Viruses that spread by email, such as Sobig, can generate so much email traffic that servers slow down or crash. Even if this doesn't happen, companies may react to the risk by shutting down servers anyway. ■ Steal confidential data. The Bugbear-D worm records the user's keystrokes, including passwords, and gives the virus writer access to them. ■ Use your computer to attack websites. MyDoom used infected computers to flood the SCO software company's website with data, making the site unusable (a denial of service attack). ■ Let other users hijack your computer. Some viruses place "backdoor Trojans" on the computer, allowing the virus writer to connect to your computer and use it for their own purposes. ■ Corrupt data. The Compatable virus makes changes to the data in Excel spreadsheets. ■ Delete data. The Sircam worm may attempt to delete or overwrite the hard disk on a certain day. ■ Disable hardware. CIH, also known as Chernobyl, attempts to overwrite the BIOS chip on April 26, making the computer unusable. ■ Play pranks. The Netsky-D worm made computers beep sporadically for several hours one morning. ■ Display messages. Cone-Fdisplays a political message if the month is May. ■ Damage your credibility. If a virus forwards itself from your computer to your customers and business partners, they may refuse to do business with you, or demand compensation. ■ Cause you embarrassment. For example, PolyPost places your documents and your name on sexrelated newsgroups. source: www.Sophos.com
