Hi Jon, My ZoneAlarm failed either most or all of these leakage testers. Did you do something to set up ZoneAlarm to be more leakproof? If you want I can send you all these free testers in a zip file. It will be named appropriately (in regard to the current problem).
Leak Test Leak Test was the first tool which has proven the poor quality of most personal firewalls by bypassing outbound traffic detection feature. Yalta Yalta was created by the developers of Look'n'Stop firewall. Yalta acts like a Trojan trying to send message to a remote address bypassing firewall' filters. TooLeaky TooLeaky uses the system's web browser to transmit information without the knowledge of the user. FireHole Firehole created by Robin Keir, lead network security programmer with Foundstone, uses default web browser to transmit the data to remote host. But its technique is much more sophisticated than one used by TooLeaky. -- Best regards, Bil Green 2001 TV VCR Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546 760-934-2001 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sunday, February 1, 2004, 1:15:17 AM, you wrote: JG> Bil, what leak tests did it fail?
