hi list,
i know this must be real elementary but actually i
was asked this question by a client.
Why would i need a firewall for a NT sytem that is
not running any servers (web,ftp,telnet), does not
have any shared drive, has a strong password. Also
let's say the OS has been hardened as well.
The system is a standalone box (NT workstation) and
only is used to connect to the Internet. (single
homed)
To be frank I was at a loss to convinve him to get
a firewall (i mean a commercial firewall).
Also we are not talking of any attacks that may be
launched at the box. Please let me know as to what
safeguards would a fireall provide in this case.
thanks
