One thing to be aware of in setting up your hypothetical outside the firewall, up to date patched box of whatever OS -- until it's fully patched, which in some cases takes multiple reboots, it is fully exposed and vulnerable while it's downloading the updates and patches. In that time frame, a scanning attack might well succeed.
I saw an article a couple of years ago that an unpatched Red Hat install was rooted in under 30 minutes on average. Windows would not likely be too different. Personally I suggest using the GB Light with default filters, that does a great job in the vast majority of cases. Ted Bardusch [EMAIL PROTECTED]
