I have made a Computer with Windows XP Pro on it… that I use for a Small media/Server, Now I have a SonicWall Hardware Firewall Hooked up to it so it cant be hacked/gotten into…

The Server on the firewall can only output on HTTP only Min 50 kbs – 350 kps this is to keep bandwith low and my rest of the home network fast.

I’m on a Comcast home internet Service and that firewall gets hit 250 times a day with port scans, ICMP/SYNC flooding so that firewall works very good.

So back to my home server its a CPU: 933 MHZ  P3, RAM:  368 MB SD, HDD: 10 GB Seagate something, Connected to a SonicWall Hardware firewall(Sonicwall TZ 180) on Port E1, at 100 MB.

What do I run on this? Well Right now…

1 IRC Bot(MIRC).

1 VLC pumping a shoutcast stream to a Ventrilo I have running to Our Ventrilo server.

1 Ventrilo(Said Why above).

1 XAMPLite(with PHP and MySQL) used for Webserver.

1 Weather Bug(Used for a PHP Script I made).

1 Bittorrnt So if I need to torrent anything.

1 VNC  So I can easily remote into it to fix somthing.

1 hMail Server I can can send email locally with firewall and antivirus.

Thats it!

To Keep this Always on I have it up to a UPS and… I have a Generator if need to be…

The Screenshot(Taken with VNC),

(Real Size of Screen)

I will Take More Pictures  of it soon

What does this “$” mean? It costs too much for me? mother F@#$%@

I’m just loving it The Graphics suck  but for $299 it was a good deal and… having windows 7 on it made the deal even better.

It came with 3 GB’s of ram, 500GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium, along with a keyboard and mouse.

This is my Desktop as it is now…

I do plan to upgrade the Graphics soon, and also add one more GB of ram to give it 4 gbs

We All know IPTables and well be a bitch… so by adding the following lines to your /etc/bash/bashrc   and/or ~/.bashrc

You can easy block ips on the Table Level Thats(PINGs, and all Data in and out) You wound really need a fast way to add Ip blocks and Table Level when a DDos, Floodnet, Clonenet eg…

How to Use,

First Your Going to need to have iptables installed
Gentoo: emerge iptables   (Must be  Root to use/install iptables)
Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install iptables

• “blockedips” Will Show all Blocked hosts
• “blockip IPHERE” Will Block that ip
• “unblockip IPHERE” Unblocks that ip

Enter this code into /etc/bash/bashrc or ~/.bashrc   then source /etc/bash/bashrc  and/or ~/.bashrc
