I was just having a browse round the Trend Micro Pc-cillin software on my PC and noticed that I could view personal firewall logs. Am I right in thinking that all the entries listed in here are attempts by others at hacking into my PC ? And if so, is there anything I can do about it ? e.g. it lists such things as source and destination IP address and port; could this info be used to identify/locate those concerned; (not that I'd bother) Would it be of any interest to anyone else who is bothered (are there such people) ?? It also gives a description against each entry of 'cloaking'. What does this mean ?
