    Actually, someone did hack my system, and used FINDFAST to scan for
    files.  They had open a .MPG movie
    I had made from my digital camera.   Here's my setup:  Win98SE with
    internet sharing enabled.  I have a local
    net and am trying to share the DSL connection amongst my various
    machines.  The DSL modem has a fixed IP
    and is always connected.  The intruder came in to the host machine and
    ran FINDFAST and was accessing
    the MPG.  I caught all this a day later.  I guess their connection got
    hung.  I used NETWATCH to discover
    the connection, and what files they were looking at.
    
    Seeing this, I looked over my system and found FFASTUN.* in both root
    directories of my C and D drive.
    All files had the same time/date stamp when the intrusion occured.  This
    matched the connection time reported
    by NETWATCH.
    
    So, Windows 98 SE with internet sharing is allowing people to hack into
    systems from the outside.  I don't
    have a web server running, so I'm not sure what services they were using
    to access my file system.  I did have
    the C and D drives setup with full read/write shares!  Ack, not again!
