Nope was a directed attack from EEye.. They basically bragged that they could crack any box.. So I let them try.. They did a portscan, portsentry saw it and dropped the route back to them.. The cried foul, I told them they need to learn about stealth scans.. They went away.. Wish I still have the e-mail logs from it.. Was pretty funny to read.. On Tue, 2 Apr 2002, Curt Purdy wrote:
Have used both Linux and FreeBSD for firewalling, and though Linux is very easy with some of the auto setup distros out there, if you are a business with assets to protect, I would trust BSD as a much more stable platform for firewalling (course some idiots out there are actually using windoze isa for firewalling, can we say stable :) As far as EEye, I believe you will find those were merely automated scans that were coming from their ip's.

But I would use Linux.. This is what I use everyday for the past 5 years.. Have yet to have anyone get thru.. Even the morons at EEye have tried..

It's quite nice, easy to use, and very secure. I'd check out www.openbsd.org and www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ for a good overview of the PF package and how to use it. --Gabe * Spencer, Gary TRI-S INC (spencerg () dtc army mil) wrote:Hello everyone.
