RE: VelociRaptor: Still viable

["Bill Royds" <lists () royds net>]

Raptor is going strong as the Symantec Enterprise Firewall and a version 7.0 has just been released with a Velociraptor 
version available. It appears that this is Symantec's main entry in the firewalls field so it does has a fairly large 
company behind it that is not about to go broke tomorrow. It has even reached the point were there are bugtraq 
advisories about it. A recent one was susceptibility to FPT bounces (which are allowed by the standard). They came up 
with a patch within 2 days of Bugtrag announcement (without pre-warning), so someone is spending time maintaining it.

Subject: [fw-wiz] VelociRaptor: Still viable


Besides the truly geeky open source solutions, Raptor has historically been 
my favorite firewall.  It's been a year since I've had direct admin work w/ 
it though, so with merger and purchase fever I don't know what it's status is.

Does anyone know what the plan is?  Will it be around?  Is the support any 
good?  Are new features being worked on or is it coasting?

Any input would be appreciated.

-Mike
