Hi folks, I just installed shorewall 4.5.6 (and core) onto my Slackware system, followed the instructions on the shorewall webpages (I used 'Universal as I am alone on my one computer on dial-up) and copied all (not the annotated) the files over to /etc/shorewall.
I then started shorewall (shorewall start) and went to GRC's website to test it. As I said, I get 'stealth' everything for all but this: ***** Unsolicited Packets: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system's personal security countermeasures unwisely attempted to probe us in response to our probes. While some users believe that "tracking down" the source of Internet probes is useful, experience indicates that there is little to gain and potentially much to lose. The wisest course of action is to simulate nonexistence — which your system has failed to do. Your counter-probes immediately reveal your system's presence and location on the Internet. ***** Does anyone know what's going on or why I can't get 'true' stealth? Any help with this will be appreciated.
