Are there TR sniffers widely available on the Internet (as in the case of Ethernet)
especially Linux and Wintel platforms? I know that TR sniffers are out there but you
have to shell out $$ for them. Ethernet sniffers are so widely available for the
hackers.
This is where I am a little bit confident about a TR LAN. Please correct me if I am
wrong.
Regardless of the serivices on a TR LAN, how should a Firewall protect a TR LAN?
