Wow. If you leave out all those things, what's left?
Having tracked firewall-wizards for some time I accept the fact that the "Firewall-Host" in itself is just a tiny piece in your security framework. However, it might be a crucial piece... So the question is: Is it smart to take the abilities of a FW-Host for granted and protect the network / the connected hosts only against stuff the FW-Host cannot protect against? Example: I have an NT-Host behind the FW which is vulnerable to POD or NetBIOS-Attacks. However, the FW-Host is supposed to filter out this kind of traffic. How far can I trust the _current_ products to do just that?
Are you sure it belongs on firewall-wizards?
Hope this actually belongs here... Regards, Hartmut Dipl.-Inf. Hartmut Fehling Hamburg-Mannheimer Versicherungs-AG Überseering 45 22287 Hamburg Tel 040 - 6376 - 3599 Fax 040 - 6376 - 4784 E-Mail Hartmut.Fehling () Hamburg-Mannheimer de
