John,
#I have been messing around with Firewalls for a while and am currently
#use OpenBSD with Ipfilter as my primary firewall. I have a number of
#boxes behind the firewall running redhat, FreeBSD, and Win 95.
#At one stage I set up a sreeened subnet using a second OpenBSD box
#running socks and have also used the FWTK. What I would like to know is
#if Back Orifice 2000 was installed on the Win95 machine could a hacker
#set up BO2K to initiate a connection through the two firewalls.??
If you are allowing inbound connections to the pc running B02K on the UDP
port that BO2K server is listening for then the firewall will allow the
connection. It's all in the firewall rules. If its allowed it gets through
if its denied it gets dropped.
Regards,
Jeffery Gieser
