4. Firewall doesn't allow programs to send commands to its dialog box
Analysis: Not possible due to Windows' messaging architecture. Any window
can send any command to any other window, and the destination
window has no
way of knowing if the key press was sent by a program or if it
actually was
the user pressing enter.

5. Firewall dialog box uses random numbers / letters represented by graphics
that the user has to enter in a password field if the password is not
correct sound alarm, halt system.

Just a thought.
