 What an extraordinarily bad idea. You should know what you allow.
The problem are those customers. One has a firewall but forgot the password
and wants to replace the whole thing. I can, of course, blame him, if he
forgets to tell me of a script that fetches data on Port 12345 but it would be
easier if I would catch that information and could ask him about this port. 
So it's just meant as a help.

First, read out aloud the first line of my signature, then read the
Debian list policy, then verify the Mail-Followup-To header of my
posts, and then do not CC anyone again unless requested.

With a properly configured firewall, you'll catch this information
too. Do you think that your super-customer will have a clue what
ports are used by what? Then you end up opening one port too many
and the trojan horse is in.

But you do as you want/need. I would impose such things on my
customers since they purchase managed security with our services.
They purchase security because they themselves are incapable. Thus,
I would not open up an alley for them to err.

Looking for a network sniffer that collects a used-ports list to help preparing a portfilter firewall script

2004-11-12 Thread Christian Hammers
Hello

I remember a network sniffer that could be run e.g. over a week to collects a
list of all used tcp/udp ports which could then be used as base for creating a
firewall script for hosts.

Does anybody know the name of this tool?

bye,

-christian-

What an extraordinarily bad idea. You should know what you allow.
Everything else should be blocked.

You can use LOG and scan the kern.log file and selectively add stuff
later.
