Hi
While I await on an independent isolated network connection, I need a server to be isolated and run FTP only. Our set up mostly works apart from IP Scanning (arp table) and Software/App Access.
It is connected to our network, has its own fixed IP address (via software VPN) and has all windows updates.
The Windows Firewall has been configured so that everything feasible apart from FTP ports are closed.
Network discovery has been switched off.
Also added connection security rules.
This means anyone accessing the server (hackers are exceptionally versatile) cannot access the web, and you cannot ping our network.
The issue is that an IP scan (Advanced IP Scanner) reveals everything inc. MAC addresses on the network although they cannot be pinged.
However, I am acutely aware that hackers are exceptionally clever and am asking is there any way we can stop an IP scan from displaying this info and secondly is there a way we can prevent software such as the Windows Firewall being able to be run on the computer without an additional password. I am being over cautious as have been hacked previously via a IP camera that was behind an enterprise firewall and had an complex password set.
Thank you
