Anyone know how a firewall prevents documents from being viewed? I'm not famaliar with such a feature.

Responding to Oracle's (Nasdaq:ORCL - news) charges of intellectual property theft, SAP Chief Executive Henning Kagermann said its TomorrowNow unit should not have made some of the downloads but that firewalls had protected the material from SAP's view.
If the improperly configured firewalls were blocking their corporate NetNanny , then the monitoring team wouldn't have noticed the subsidiary's illegal downloading. Still though, I doubt NetNanny would report Oracle.com downloads either way :-) -JP _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
