Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share
Sasquatch Just curious about other folks opinions: I always use a hardware firewall but I...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3574
I think it's good that you're so careful. I do not claim that my hardware-firewall-only approach is advisable. It's just that, for me...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3575
Oooh ... scary! But meaningless. The word "potentially" gives it away. I think you are really saying "he has a internet connection in which all incoming packets...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3576
Peter T. Breuer No. I'm saying he's put all of his protection on one device...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3577
So you want him to have two firewalls, in series? It's harder if it's a hardware device, but not impossible. Having an IP address for configuration plus a well-known default pbuttword...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3578
Peter T. Breuer I don't care what HE does. But two firewalls is indeed what I do. Firewalls often are configured to allow remote configuration...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3579
John Hasler Yes, I'm referring to what we've been calling hardware firewalls, which of course really are...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3580
Peter T. Breuer I have given examples, and so have other people. It hasn't been vague...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3581
Please quote. I have seen only fuzzy generalities. Ah good! An example! Why restrict ssh? There's no point in restricting ssh. Nobody can log in through it without your pbuttword and-or digital key, no...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3582
Peter T. Breuer You are presuming a use for ssh that does not exist in this...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3583
Yes it is. That is precisely the use of it. Man ssh ... ssh (Secure Shell) is a program for...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3584
Peter T. Breuer So because ssh allows access from ANYWHERE, I can't restrict it to specific ip's? Why is...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3585
Alexander Skwar I guess they'll have to change it. Peter says it has to be open to everyone - so that must be a mistake...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3586
I have never set up any protective firewall. I have been on a T1 backbone for nigh on twenty years. I run slackware...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3587
It has you handcuffed to the wall! How come you don't have capability to send packets? Or is that just the outgoing rules on your firewall blocking it? From outside I...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3588
Those will be taken care of by their distros standard updates page. But anyway the f-w makes no...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3589
The vulnerability will not be announced until the patch is ready. But anyway, I said exploited. My point was that if a vulnerability is not being exploited then you...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3590
But either they are not running vulnerable services, or they are. If they are, and they have a f-w, then the f-w has holes in to let access to the servers...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3591
Yes - but the holes might be slim. IOW: They might only allow certain subnets through. Yes, it does. It limits the range of...
Probability, was Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share
But not a successful one. I really wish people would understand stats. Amen. Uh uh. It's simply true. I'm sure you can. Friend of mine eked out his...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3594
Comment on where you see a problem: What you want to be thinking about is "what does my action defend me against...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3595
So? Ssh is not sensitive to the origin of the attack! An attack from china is as unlikely to succeed as an attack from the USA. In neither case is a successful...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3596
So? It doesn't have to. That's not the point. People from China aren't supposed to use the service. So they get excluded. So? Then he...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3597
There isn't. Precisely none, to a value of none as close to zero as makes...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3598
All probabilities are greater than 0 for not-impossible things, so the spontaneusly decide to disbuttociate in 4.3s time and reform themselves into a crate of beer. So...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3599
Sure, but the probability is negligible of it happening the way you think. So forget it as a branch of...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3600
Peter T. Breuer That's idiotic, sorry. *Some* exploits are discovered by white hats, reported privately, and yes, in that case...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3601
You know that they are stolen, therefore you know they can log in to your "safe" IPs (just use the stolen pbuttwords and PKs), and hence...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3602
I am sorry - if one cannot log in to them, then there is no point in allowing acceses from them to sshd. Come...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3603
I don't see any different - perhaps you can point out to me where the difference is (if...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3604
Specific to you perhaps, but if you are trying to communicate to me, you need to use words that have...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3605
Since you don't do that, I don't see the need to do this either. Further, your statement is wrong. If...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3606
Peter T. Breuer Generally, public access is taken to mean access from the internet, though it can also refer to a public kiosk or...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3607
Well, how else would one access a computer, unless one were sitting at its keyboard? The whole context here is of a network - I must buttume that he simply means "logins via ssh are...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3608
Peter T. Breuer It's quite tiresome that you keep pretending that this has not been answered multiple times. Whack-a-mole again.. keys can be obtained from stolen usb...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3609
No, perfectly true. You seem somewhat naive about probabilities and stats .. Of course I do. Bayesian reasoning. False deduction. Incorrect logic...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3610
Peter T. Breuer Ahh, yes. The beginning of ad hominem attacks. I'm "naive" if I don't agree...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3611
It isn't the same situation - it's not a one off at all. Your use of the firewall is predicated on a continuous background...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3612
It is a neglible risk - by the laws of statistics, because they apply here. It is the number of...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3613
You're getting more and more ridiculus. SSH is of course vulnerable to attacksfrom-China-. Yes. No...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3614
I said it is not. Then what do you think? That somebody in china has a secret method of breaking into ssh and they are going shortly to choose...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3615
Yes, you did. That's what's so strange, as there are of course attacks from China. I buttume, that SSH (as any other piece of software...
Firewall security: Problems with simple Samba file share 3616
Well, I was arguing using probability, not expectation (risk), but "yes". Probability is risk "without taking into account a varying damage estimate". And yes, this is precisely how...
