[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 713257"] This is correct and I noted it already, he has one of 4 gaming systems. Technically only 3 now since my daughter rarely turns on her 8 Core, 1070GTX desktop as she prefers mobile/chromebook games over PC games anyway. :unsure: I've done significant hardening of my internal network by simply removing Windows from the equation to the maximum extent I can. Of course, it's still the Windows machines getting attacked the most aggressively.. Right now my environment is significantly Debian, Android 7/8, Chromebook and Raspbian based. All four of which are fairly sturdy from attack/compromise out of the box but they also enjoy other hardening tweaks. Beyond those, just 3 'active' Windows gaming PC's. Further hardening will take place this weekend. My wireless controller will be moved to a Debian Micro-PC. My camera server will be migrated to Debian (Sighthound). I am creating a zone-based system of network security at home. Red/Green/Blue zones for higher level isolation. Right now those Windows boxes are all segregated physically, rather than VLAN tags so they aren't talking to ANYTHING on my network except the local DNS server via restricted protocol and port only with inspection of that traffic. Work in progress this weekend. [/QUOTE]
