I use IPCop (version 1.3 currently, but 1.4 is out), with intrusion detection turned on. As well, I'm running on an Apache server, so most URL based hack attempts just don't work (buffer overflows and such).
I'm not sure how well IPCop handles SQL Injection (I've always understood this to be more of a coding problem than a network issue), or how suitable it is for use in protecting a data center. I would whole heartedly recommend it for a small/medium business though. Shawn On Wednesday 12 January 2005 08:29, Mark W.
