1] Suppose I have a TELNET/RLOGIN proxy that I can config to listen to multiple ports. Can I use that TELNET/RLOGIN proxy to secure other interactive protocols? Like POP, SMTP, SSH, RSH, or whatever?
should work since they are basically the same, but the TELNET proxy will not filter for attacks via the protocls though - so it won't filter attacks against your sendmail etc...
2] For those remote offices using congested Internet links, do you know of a proxy/tool that can act as POP client and server (in one machine) for many users? Preferrably freeware/shareware, on Solaris SPARC/x86 (WinNT x86 can also be OK). If not, commercial stuff will also be nice.
look for something called fetchpop or similar. Basically its a little program that acts as a mail client. Its goes and pops the mail from wherever and deliveres it to local mailboxs via a set of filter rules. You will need qmail or something locally to receive the mails from the fetcher... If you main mailserver is qmail then you can filter on the "Delivered-to:" headerline :} Cheers, Bret Technical Incursion Countermeasures consulting () TICM COM http://www.ticm.com/ ph: (+61)(041) 4411 149(UTC+8 hrs) fax: (+61)(08) 9454 6042 The Insider - a e'zine on Computer security - August Edition out http://www.ticm.com/info/insider/index.html
