1. Does my current configuration prevents someone from using my as a launch pad for DOS attacks?
Your system does not look as if it would be a very juicy system to compromise.. In the recent DDoS attacks on large web sites, many high capacity hosts were used to launch the attack. Unless an amplifier was being used (which was not the case with the recent attacks) then your link speed would be too small to do significant damage..
2. How can I tell if my system is being used in this way?
There is a great run down of the programs that were used in the recent attacks on http://www.cert.org/ in the section about Denial of Service attacks.. I am sorry that i can not remember the exact URL. Cya Matthew Matthew King: Network Engineer, Cable & Wireless Optus. My ICQ#: 2342475 Message me!
