Which leads directly to Marcus' well known rant about positive security models.
You cannot make even any *one* Thing in security "perfect"
You can. You can code an HTTP server that does nothing but serve static documents in (my guess) less than 1000 lines of C and you can prove a program of this size to be correct. Customers tend to favour "off the shelf solutions", though. IIRC this once led to another one of Marcus' rants ;-) Regards, Patrick -- punkt.de GmbH Internet - Dienstleistungen - Beratung Vorholzstr. 25 Tel. 0721 9109 -0 Fax: -100 76137 Karlsruhe http://punkt.de _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
