> A port-knocking sequence is really nothing different than a shared password.
Technically and conceptually, that's true. But "practically", I'm not sure you're right. If in addition to attempting to enumerate the space of possible passwords, an attacker also enumerates the space of possible port-knocking sequences, then, yes, you're right. But I am willing to bet that the vast majority of attackers DO NOT attempt this. For this reason, I think well-designed port-knocking DOES add significant strength to the server. If I'm misunderstanding port-knocking, please jump in and correct me... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
