Lots of miscommunications in these threads. The original poster here was
talking about setting up a virtual firewall machine to deal with traffic on
a single box.
Most of the war stories are from sys admins protecting a corporate LAN (or
larger)

IP is a fairly high-order construct. Beneath it , the data link and
physical layers remain almost unnoticed. One thought that came to mind
would be to attack a machine on the same LAN, and then exploit an Ethernet
vulnerability to listen to "the wire". Not sure how many (if any) Ethernet

I like your suggestion! I am security paranoid to a fault. For me, a
system is either rock solid or wide open. obsd is the closest I've found
to rock solid, and frankly a virtualbox vm running on win7 feels wide
open. But the more I thought about your idea, the more I liked it. Win7

Hi,
Out of interest, I'd like to let you know a specific use of OpenBSD with
PF, in virtualbox, 2 virtual network card Bridged to physical NIC, and
building up a subnet with NAT and hence running Packet Filter as the
machine's firewall.
That's the firewall I use under Win7, OpenBSD running
