>From Checkpoint: "FireWall-1 has had a lot of protection from attacks built in for years; many of these were automatic and were not exposed in the gui nor did they receive special logging. This made it difficult for users to understand exactly what attacks FireWall-1 blocked; now, in addition to adding new blocks we've made it easy for administrators to see exactly what's being blocked and, in cases where there are configuration options, to correctly set and apply those options. Simple, straightforward, GUI-based configuration allows easier and more consistent configuration, plus SmartDefense provides information about each attack (clearly not available with dbedit).
In addition, SmartDefense adds some substantial new blocking and logging capabilities, with more being developed quickly; the most notable of these is the configurable kernel-based HTTP worm blocking which allows specification (using regular expressions) of a large number of malicious HTTP strings to block, blocking of non-ASCII characters in URLs, and similar checks with very high performance. As noted, that static components of SmartDefense are only half the story; Check Point has a subscription service providing online updating of information on network security risks as well as blocks for those risks."
