RE: securing icmp protocol

I don't think you can secure an insecure protocol. Define secure? You mean you want to encrypt your icmp traffic? What is the problem with ICMP traffic? If you want to disable anything try (type 8???) ping packets. I am pretty sure (as you stated) you need the rest for functionality. Are

Re: Packet Sniffing in a Switched LAN

Question on the switch here. A switch is used to speed up networks among other things. Now using the example below and setting P6 to a monitoring port is ofcourse a way to do it. However what happens if P1 till P5 generate a total of more than 100Mbit of traffic (which can happen on a switch).

Outlook is best run over PPTP or VPN. POP3S, port 995, POP3 over TLS/SSL would also work. More than just a password should be encrypted. John -Original Message- From: Matt Hemingway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 8:56

Packet sniffing over a dialup PPP connection?

how to keep anon on the web

Howdy fellow basic readers. A while back (few weeks maybe?) someone asked how to stay anon on the net. Today the register wrote such an article so I figured why not share it with the group and hope the original poster catches it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did (it is pretty informative)

RE: What firewall?

I used the Cisco Pix firewall and Checkpoint. There are both very secure devices. Checkpoint is Software or Hardware and easier to use because you can install it on a Wintel machine. Pix is faster but more difficult to configure. Jean R. Sigue, OM Technology Inc. 140 Broadway 26th Fl New York

RE: SNMP security

You also may want to look into wrapping SSL around your SNMP traffic with something like stunnel. stunnel can go a long way toward adding security to services which are generally insecure. Just make sure that the boxes you are running SNMP on are in a very secure environment as well (i.e. no

RE: resizing partition

PM does recognize un*x style partitions. If you have your system set up on ext2 partitions, it should work.Caveat emptor though, I have used PM alot, and if it doesn't like something it will usually gracefully tell you and exit, but NOT always, so make sure you are well backed up. Fred
