See http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html for a great little piece of software. Works through your existing HTTP proxy to render your firewall meaningless. (I've been waiting for something like BackOrifice to use HTTP instead of UDP for its remote control session.) We currently do not use proxy authentication for HTTP requests which originate internally. May change that. I presume that that could help thwart a covert trojan program trying to get out w/ HTTP. Thoughts? I also presume that coders of httptunnel could easily build in proxy authentication for users who intend to install it on their desktop for some purpose, so it cannot be a panacea. -- KH
