Recently, whilst performing a Penetration Test I developed a Java script

This personal firewall was designed as is used so that the company can
centrally control what Hosts and Networks a user can access via the use of
profiles. Can you see what it is yet? Anyway, would you guys consider the
ability to disable the firewall remotely a vulnerability or does it fall
simply in the arena of technique in the use of already existing tools and
vulnerabilities?


Or you could just post the details, so it can be decided with all the available information. I mean that seriously, it is kind of the main charter of the list. Are you trying to decided so you can warn the vendor ahead of time?
