Re: How do I find out what hop is not forwarding traffic on a specific port?

[Alex Fiuvertiz <fiuvertiz () gmail com>]

Perhaps firewalk will solve that question? I'm not sure I completely
understood the problem, but if you're having a firewall/router in
front of a network and wants to map the firewall's rulebase than
perhaps firewalk could help.
But you will have to know a host on the inside network of the filtering devices.
The method will only work at level 3 firewalls/filtering devices.
You let firewalk calculate the TTL so that TTL is 1 when you get to
the firewall/router/filtering device. If the firewall is letting the
traffic through, the TTL will reach 0 and a ICMP message is returned.
If the fw is not letting the traffic through, the packet is simply
dropped.

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
