By the way, hacking somebody, who is not running a publicly accessible server listening on some port is almost impossible.
Windows, by default, listens on the NetBIOS port, but you can trust that to be relatively secure if you turn off windows shares. If you don't run any other services like an Exchange Server, a ftp server or IIS.
It says that Invalid TCP FLags can be used before hacking to find stuff out. is that true? I am confused big time.
