Re: Bypassing Personal Firewall, is it that* hard?

[Andrei Zlate-Podani <azlate () bitdefender com>]

A firewall has to do with network traffic. All this talk about 
"bypassing firewall x or y using this trick or that one" is sheer nonsense.
It is not the job of a firewall to track all the relations of 
executables and/or API calls in the system.
I never heard anybody complaining that iptables allows a script execute 
Conqueror to communicate with a server.
Use an antivirus program or an IDS for this job.
