Introduction
The connection window will allow you to view both incoming
and outgoing connections to and from your computer without
opening a port.
This will allow you to keep track of all you connections
and set up a rules basis of ports. It will also allow you
to know when you are getting a false alarm when using a
third party firewall program. An example of this would be
If the firewall is reporting an attempted connection to
local port 1080 and claiming that it has been blocked. If
you do not have a local port 1080 listening on your computer,
the port 1080 report from your firewall is a false alarm.
This is because it could not have made a connection to your
computer, even if it had not been blocked. You would need
to have a listening port that was allowing connections to
the port for it to not be a false alarm.
Proto
Displayed
under this heading is the protocol used for the connection
or port in either TCP or UDP.
Address
This
area will show
the hostname or the IP address of the remote connection.
Local Port
Shows
the port on your own machine which is open for communication.
Remote Port
Shows
the port on the remote computer that you are connected to
or communicating with.
Status
Shows
whether it is an established real connection or whether
the port is just open or waiting for a connection to time
out.
Hide Listening
When
not checked, this option will allow you to view all open
and listening ports, not just ports with established connections.
Resolve IPs
When
checked, Hacker Eliminator will lookup the IP address and
display the host name that it resolves to. If the IP does
not resolve to a name, the IP will remain in the display.
Right Click
The
right click option as shown below, will allow you to copy
and paste the connections. This can be used to paste to
a log or email message.
