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". On Fri, 2003-06-06 at 12:29, security () rexwire com wrote:
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.
