thought, it would be nice for a firewall if the proxy:
- only has a connection to server OR client
How would this work with i.e. HTTP? The proxy had to close the client connection before connecting the server, then client would get no data - what did I miss?
- does checks for mallicious java(-script)
It would be another possiblity to use a (internal) cacheing proxy with such filter options (and virus checking!), so the proxy on the firewall could kept simpler - and because of that the risk of bug would be smaller.
what helps the best firewall if someone could get acces to local filesystems via java...afik nearly all versions of netscape and MSIE are affected by java-problems.
Well, to go sure you had to filter a lot, activeX and other executables, encrypted messages (which could contain a virus, trojan or backdoor which cannot even be checked by a virus scanner)... oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
