[FW-1] true or false

2001-11-20 Thread Holland, Stephen
According to this article http://www.phoneboy.com/faq/0181.html each connection attempt through CP is required to traverse the entire rule base.  In my training I thought I was told once a rule matches a connection attempt the connection is accepted or dropped.  Is this not the case with CP

2001-09-13 Thread Holland, Stephen
  I am seeing a lot of “log_get_fp: log file too large” in the /opt/CPfw1-41/log/fwd.elg file on the management station.  The logs are switched every day and the largest log I can find is 80 Megs.  I have heard 2 gigs is the point when the GUI log viewer starts to be painfully slow, but CP

[FW1] ACL's vs Firewalls

2001-09-07 Thread Holland, Stephen
I am wondering if someone knows of a whitepaper or just general knowledge of why firewalls are better than ACL’s.  I am aware of the statefull inspection that checkpoint can do, but with an acl you can creat rules to allow “established connections” thus looking deaper into the packet.  Stuf

I am in the situation where the enforcements point has fw.log files from when the management station has been down for maintenance and/or before the management server existed. Other than that all logs are transferred to the management station where the logs are switched and archived. How can

    Has anyone got the fwrules60 program to work with Checkpoint 4.1 SP-3?  I can get the objects.C file to compose a list of objects, but the rule base seem to not be working.  I am not a Perl programmer, so I don’t know where to begin to look.  Is there another working program that will

[FW1] Time out for TCP handshake

2001-07-27 Thread Holland, Stephen
    Without using SynDefender what is the default time Checkpoint 4.1 will allow for the entire TCP handshake to take place before the firewall will close the connection.  Also what will be logged if the connection is dropped by the firewall if the handshake is not finished?

I am using Checkpoint 4.1 sp3 on Solaris.   I am seeing weird things in the logs that look like all mail is being directed to one email server and not the test server I have setup.  The firewall receives mail for ourdomain.com and then sends to the email server.  I have set up a test ema
