Need help from a group of experts. I am not a network expert but I play one on tv.

[Randy Opper <ropper () firstsecurityonline com>]

	I am an owner of a small business with less than 25 staff members. We 
do not have the budget to afford a tech person on staff. I am a power 
user that has taken over the task of trying to secure our T1 and I am 
unclear of how to handle a few issues.

1. Each day my Sonicwall firewall is hit buy at least 3 Sub Seven 
attacks. The firewall does say that they are blocked. I have converted 
my users to all use webmail with no attachment download to prevent pop3 
mail virus issues.
		? How do you track down these attackers when the ip address will not 
resolve and when i trace them they just don't list. I get the ip from 
the firewall log and try to trace route to no avail.

                ? Does the webmail stop all issues of mail attacks?
		? Does a program exist that would reverse hack or fight back against 
these attacks daily?
		? Does a program exist that could test my network on the internet to 
see if the firewall is good enough or will someone tell me how I can 
try to trash it to test it.
