Non Noob Question!! Need Expert

[TripZone]

Ok... Well i made a non public server i have made a hamachi server and then that leaves a Public Non-Hamachi server... Well i cant open the ports to my router because the person running my network has too much to loose if someone hacks us soo if you can convince him by giving answers to these questions... that may work.

1. If i was to open the ports needed to have people to connect to my router What are all the things that are vulnerable. And how can i protect myself.
i already read the Topic (The risks of running a private server and how to protect yourself) but my network owner does not want to have to change his password once a week....

2. Lets say we get the ports opened are these ports things they can hack us with? what is actually going to happen if a hacker gets in. Can they read my Folders and files that may have my bank info in it or finacial stuff? and if they are connected to my compute can they connect to the shared network computers as well?

3. Is thier anyway to have a Non-Hamachi Server that can hold a good amount of people without opening ports to my router. Or paying for a server of course. And without asking for som1 to host it for me i want to be able to run the server myself...

4. Are the people only connected to the server itself or can they get through those ports and hack me?

5. What ports are being opened what are they and why do those ones in particularly have to be opened?

Please provide as much info as you can. Make it so anyone could understand it if possible.. one of the main reasons is cause my hoster wants to be protected and will only do this if he has all the info he needs. if you provide me a good Value of info ill definatly +++++++++Rep

You do not need to Forward ports for Hamachi

Im not say Hamachi if you read it im saying i want to make a Public Non-Hamachi server but my network hoster does not feel safe untill he gets the info he needs i need som1 to answer each question above if i want to make a PUBLIC NON HAMACHI SERVER

It is highly risky someone will get through and either destroy your database or do something to your pc , so yes it is possible this can happen

for one thing, they are only connecting to the server and not the router because the ports are for the server itself to connect. but the chances are somewhat slim.

second, there is no way to have a non-Hamachi server with out opening the ports. (look above)

third, i am not sure right off what the ports are that need to be opened.

hope this helps.

Kinda helps ill +rep for giving some info.. i guees. Looking for Why Do i need the open the ports what files will be harmed what can be hacked if i have a folder on my desktop named accounts will someone be able to see that folder and know that it might have value info in it? and things like that.

No they won't be able to so it, They would mostly only have acusess to your Database

[TripZone]

Ok so they (Mostly) have access to my DataBase. Im asking what else do they have access to. And im not talking about what would happen if some hacker wanted my server. Im asking what if a serious hacker got on my server and decided to look for info on my computer? Im want to know about the things a Real hacker could have access to. Like im saying is thier any way at all that if i had my identity on my Computer and life works ect, Can a hacker steal it by connecting to these ports. I could careless about my server and my database im just talking about my important info? I need a Yes or a No. If No tell me Why If Yes. explain it.

No Maybes No its a slim chance i need to know if it would happen at all.

Also if they connect to these ports is thier anyway they can go arround those like a back door or a loop and connect to other parts of my router?
