hey Halvar,
btw, regarding Symantec: Has anyone ever seen a Symantec FW in the wild ? It is the artist formerly known as "Raptor", and I have vivid memories of it screwing up my OS's network stack majorly two or three years ago (which made me move to not install software I look at outside a VM any more)...
Indeed, I have. On Win32, it's probably the worst firewalling solution ever, the only one I know that you don't have to find any DoS vulnerabilties for since it'll just DoS itself every once in a while. Anyway, it's still around, yet I doubt they increased their market share since the Axent days - probably mostly old clients who just bought into the updates with one of the popular support plans. You're also right about the IP-stack f**kups - it actually replaced a lot of that and didn't change it for the better (predictable ISN etc., which isn't much of a change on win32 anyway). If you need the names of sites that run it, send me a mail :) Cheers, J. _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://www.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
