-- Posted by ohbaker17 at 7:47 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 if some had someones ip address would they be able to hack their computer? -- Posted by GoliathJustin at 7:48 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 No, just find where they live. -- Posted by Geneva at 7:48 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Possibly, but most people cannot (including you dumb high school friends). -- Posted by bigredron at 7:48 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 yes. if they have your ip address they can access your files and everything. If you have a firewall or router it will make it a bit harder but they can still get in there -- Posted by Seani at 7:49 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 It's possible. -- Posted by hi sarah at 7:50 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 yeah -- Posted by dreamweaver at 7:51 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Possible... yes. But we're talking about the best of the best of hackers there, as they would have to have certain knowledge and equipment to do just that. -- Posted by Geneva at 7:51 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from bigredron at 7:48 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 yes. if they have your ip address they can access your files and everything. If you have a firewall or router it will make it a bit harder but they can still get in there You'd have to extremely retarded to have a set-up where they could access any more than a small portion of your files. -- Posted by drifting at 7:56 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from dreamweaver at 10:51 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Possible... yes. But we're talking about the best of the best of hackers there, as they would have to have certain knowledge and equipment to do just that. And even then, they would need access to some sort of in. If you dont have a server, or any sort of external access protocol, its still not going to happen. Im not sure, a mail server (Outlook) could be enough of an in though. At the very least they would have access to your email. Again, this is assuming the greatest of hackers. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 7:59 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Geneva at 10:51 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from bigredron at 7:48 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 yes. if they have your ip address they can access your files and everything.

It would simply be difficult not to have such protection, because it's practically a standard on any OS now.
