Hello Well... i dont think that application level atacks have something to do with ports... simply because i think, ports are at tcp-layer, and if you talk about application, you talk about layer 7... if i hear application layer and attacks, all i can imagine is virii... Well, i dont know any other atack for layer 7 than malicious code. Means, all you can do at this layer, is to use an antivirus software, imho. Please correct me if i could be worng. best regards Adam Friday, January 28, 2005, 5:35:52 PM, you wrote: <==============Original message text=============== CC> Danny wrote:
