[Full-Disclosure] Re: Global HIGH Security Risk

[^Shadown^]

Hi,
        I ask for apologize if I was unclear.
        I've seen many people who understood that "bypass" was the meaning of pass 
trough filtered ports, and I didn't wanted to say that.
        What I've wanted to say is that if a firewall is set up to stop reverse telnet 
techniques by closing all ports to let the server go to outside, and there were 
deleted gcc, vi, ed (anything that could be used as a text editor) and 
uudecode/uuencode (and other en/decoders), it wasn't enough to stop an attacker to 
upload (xploits, etc) and download files, and obviously execute then on the server. I 
saw many servers set up like this so I wanted to prevent everybody to this kind of 
attack. And I thought it was important enough to be posted.
        Again forgive me if I was unclear on what I've wanted to say.
        Best regards,
                ^Shadown^
