Re: cyberwall Plus/Host based Firewall

Guys,   Try to understand how Trojans works,  the attacker need to specify a specific port for any Trojan to communicate which uses client server functionality ( slave and master or whatever). Again, Black Ice provide a packet filtering and you should configure Black ice to only allow the services you wanted. Second the latest black ice provide application monitoring, where you only allow certain apps to run. If any application trying to be executed without the list of allow apps , Black ice just won't allow it.   Sincerely   Mustapa Khan ----- Original Message ----- From: LarryLou To: 'Mustapa Khan' Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 6:42 AM Subject: RE: cyberwall Plus/Host based Firewall Mustapa,   BlackICE v2.5 (probably their latest version as well) allow common Trojans to bypass according to Steve Gibson at: http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm.  I think you should be aware of this.  Steve wrote a tool called LeakTest.  You might want to test it against your version of BlackICE.  Good luck.   Larry     -----Original Message----- From: Mustapa Khan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 10:19 PM To: jacqueline hoe Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: cyberwall Plus/Host based Firewall Importance: High   Jaqueline,   Just use Back Ice Defender Server version. It is so cost effective and if anyone tell you that it is not good at all, 47 servers in our data center in Singapore and Malaysia is using that at the moment.   Sincerely   Mustapa Khan PGP KEY ID = 0x5008FE46 ----- Original Message ----- From: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 jacqueline hoe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBPMbmzYDeIjG8dB+wEQIJVQCgu34JgqOVPpM91kMCGcFJUeQ3oZYAn3+3 x4bn1dJ5/4sHOiIXD0RKNZrL =oJu7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----   To: simon chan ; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1   [EMAIL PROTECTED]   -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>   iQA/AwUBPMTEoYDeIjG8dB+wEQJ81QCg/uhzDstiB6YVCSenoctVKDH6VykAoPeN SHxWHa+W5DbWbPo9Xr/FcP+U =CI4Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----   Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 6:16 PM Subject: Re: cyberwall Plus/Host based Firewall    How abt security aspect and functionality....Guess that the most imp features when we talk abt security products...   simon chan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Seems very expensive.
