I will certainly not use a slow machine as a FW since that would slow my own
network:) The fact that that would slow an intruder is of no use to me.
intruders
have all their time, but not me!
I know that tis has been advocated by many respected people, and I respect
them,
but I don't share this opinion.
A real example would be for a country to destroy all its highways, roads,
railraods,
... so that if an ennemy gets in, he will find it hard to move. the problem
is that not only
is this ineffective (if the ennemy comes in, he can afford to suffer since
he is gaining
enough), but bad for the country itself.
