    Greetings,

    I run my linux box at home which is behind a modem-Router

    every request on port 21,22 are routed to my box.
    I installed (ok with a lot of help from you people :) ) an iptables
    script as a firewall.

    When I ping my ip, I, in fact ping the router, don't I ?
    So the machine behind the router can not be accessed from outside
    excepted for the ports which are routed ?
    If I do a port-scan of the ip, I scan the router and not the machine
    as well....

    So my question is :

    If my machine, were to be hacked it could only be through the 21,22 ports ?

    Networks security is more like to a hobby to me and I'll get no training
    in this field of computer sciences so I welcome any links regarding this.

    I am trying to collect links on the subject to read on my spare time so
    Google is my friend but you're knowledge is valuable as well. I am
    reading netfilter.org and then will write this group's archive but if
    you have some good links ....

    many thx for your attention.
