Could you explain this? I've seen you state it a few times in other threads, and I'm not sure I believe it. I'm not a security expert, but I play one on the weekends. For those who are interested, this page : http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1674 gives a nice overview of IP spoofing. Having some form of "control" of any specific ISP or network is certainly not a pre-requisite. What I would agree with, however, is that IP spoofing is hard, and to be quite honest the risk of someone taking the trouble to attack your slimserver is pretty remote. I'd still use a tunnel though, as I don't find them hard to setup and it's better to be safe than sorry. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23525 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
