    Hello everyone,

    I was wondering what the most common type of attack to expect to get hit
    with over a network is.
    I will be protecting a MS based network.

    The other thing i was thinking is in this senerao what type of attacks
    should you be watching out for?

    senerao: Small TCP/IP network (sub 6 pcs) All have the latest MS client or
    server OSes fully patched.
    IPSec running as a firewall, all trafic monitered/logged, services
    configured (and disabled) 1 Software router, 1 Hardware router (firewall
    running on each) im thinking thats about it.

    Thanks for the help it is greatly apricated
