SKP, 
        How do you expect to figure out which firewall's are misconfigured? I
highly doubt that you will be able to get accurate information, and I
also doubt that you can trust any other story that tells you that they
know. 

1-) People don't talk about their firewalls.
2-) It is, for the most part, illegal to run security tests on a network
that is not yours.

Be careful what you write about... you don't want to end up saying
something silly like... "IDS is useless".

I remember once reading that X amount of firewall's are misconfigured. Does
anyone know where I can get this statistic from? We are making some new
marketing material and I would like to include this stat in it. A quotable
source would be great.

Thanks

SKP
