I should throw out a little disclaimer. I was running my main PC as a webserver hosting a website. The website was never made public but a hacker got into it. My firewall was disabled and then an FTP client was installed on my web server. I cought it before any problems could arrise, but I haven't ran my server since then nor have I reaserched how I got hacked.

If it was while you were at school, likely it was a random attack. People tend to search college campuses for open systems to play around with cause of the high bandwidth that they have. Makes anything that they start from the system get out to the world fast and have more up/down capabilities compared to most residential internet connections.

Yea probably was a random attack, and running on a residential connection is much safer, though thats odd how the hacker gainned access.

It was at school but it was not on the college LAN that are in all the dorms. I am not sure what type of internet was used where I was at, at the time. I am guessing it had to have been random since my website was not public, nor did I have a domain name for it.

It was most likely and attacker who just noticed you had port 80 open for running the http server.

Some people *cough* CG *cough* just run TCP syn checks every time they connect to a network, and if they notice a port 25 (not 80 BTW) had a FTP Server installed (client is what you connect with  ) i'm sure they'd have gotten curious...
Moral of the story: use the firewall  |

umm, port 25 is SMTP, Port 20 and Port 21 are used for FTP and 22 for SSH/SCP/SFTP
