Hi there folks,
I am a student of information science at Otago University, and have been an
avid subscriber to the list for almost a year now. I am soon to sit an exam
and one of the questions relates to those types of electronic attack that
firewalls do not protect against. If anyone has any ideas in this area, they
would be much appreciated. I am not looking for instructions obviously, just
general classes of attack that firewalls fail to counter. For example I have
heard on a number of occasions that SYN flooding, due to its location in the
connection initiation defies firewall protection. I am a little skeptical
myself, but any input would be much appreciated...
Thanks in advance
Steve
